DLA Piper

DLA Piper combines its extensive international footprint with a deep-rooted understanding of a variety of asset classes in the traditional, renewable and ever evolving digital infrastructure space to competently serve the interests of its premium client base. The team demonstrates an exceptional display of multi-jurisdictional engagement, acting on mandates such as wind portfolio acquisitions in Chile, power deals in Africa, and Middle Eastern tower deals. In the Nordic region, the team – routinely led by global co-chair of the energy and natural resources sector Natasha Luther-Jones – has a strong track record of wind farm deals, while in the UK the group has overseen first-time market entries from data centre manufacturers as well as natural gas supply transactions. Group head Martin Nelson-Jones handles some of the firm’s most important relationships, and is singled out for his considerable expertise in wind-related mandates, while energy specialist Tracey Renshaw has been a key-contact for Shell as they pursue a number of solar power and biogas acquisitions across the globe. Ben Forgiel-Jenkins also comes well recommended.
