England - London • Projects, energy and natural resources
Freeths LLP
Freeths LLP‘s team is well-equipped to manage a range of matters in power. A portion of the team’s workload is formed of clean energy-related projects, with multiple members who specialise in this area, particularly in electric vehicles and EV charging infrastructure work. There is also a heat networks sub-team led by director Rhianna Wilsher, who ’stands out from the crowd’, and a hydrogen sub-team led by managing associate Liam O’Flynn. Clare King heads up the team.
