Clifford Chance

Clifford Chance‘s ’very open-minded and respectful’ energy group has a strong reputation for its capabilities assisting its roster of clients in a broad array of transactional work. Renewables are one of the key focuses of the team, which works on onshore and offshore wind as well as solar projects. The energy and natural resources work is often international in scope. Hein Tonnaer, who also co-leads the firm’s international renewables cohort, is at the helm of the group, alongside ‘excellent’ energy transition and renewables expert Liesbeth Buiter, who is particularly experienced handling project development, construction contracts and commercial project documents, and senior counsel Nanette Rutgers. A key example of the team’s work is its advice to SkyNRG on Europe’s first large-scale sustainable aviation fuel plant in the Netherlands.
