Pinsent Masons LLP

The practice at Pinsent Masons LLP is regarded as being ‘excellent in providing commercial advice’ to its impressive portfolio of clients. The team’s workload is varied, and includes assisting in the complex processes involved in high-stakes project financing work; in the acquisition and disposal of key energy-related infrastructure in the UK; and in the development of significant renewables projects, particularly in the domestic and international offshore wind space, which is a particular focus of Gareth Phillips and of senior associate Amy Stirling. Phillips co-leads the London team alongside Peter Feehan. They are supported by Leeds-based Melanie Grimmitt who leads the firm’s global energy practice, Edinburgh-based Julia Maguire, and Graham Alty, from the Manchester office. Notably, energy and infrastructure partners Rob Morson and Apicksha Patel both relocated internally from South Africa to London in June 2022, whilst Didar Dhillon left to work in-house in October 2022.
