Osborne Clarke LLP

Outside of its continued strength in the PFI/PPP sector, Osborne Clarke LLP has seen an uptick in project finance, development and commercial work relating to wider energy and infrastructure projects, working with both domestic and international clients. Bristol-based practice head Chris Wade is noted for his experience advising on both public and private sector work, and for his deep understanding of social infrastructure assets, particularly student accommodation. John Deacon’s expertise straddles renewable, conventional and digital infrastructure assets, advising on strategic investment and project development matters. Simon Hancock’s credentials in the defence, security and aerospace subsectors sees him instructed by both strategics and public bodies; he also has a strong body of work relating to PPP/PFI handbacks. Hannah Roscoe is a further name to note for financing, development and commercial work concerning greenfield projects, while Dominic O’Brien's financing focus encompasses both greenfield and brownfield transactions. Amy Dimond and Keir Pimblett also come recommended.
