Demonstrating a 'deep knowledge of the legal complexities surrounding the energy industry', Pinsent Masons LLP offers clients assistance throughout the life cycle of renewable energy projects, from financing and development, to divestment. The team has been bolstered by a swathe of new arrivals from Bird & Bird in February 2023: newly appointed practice head Hermenegildo Altozano is well versed in energy-related transactions and projects in Spain and Latin America; Alfonso Bayona has notable strength in corporate, contractual and financing matters in the energy, natural resources and infrastructure sectors; and Juan de Navasqüés handles a spread of corporate restructurings and M&A deals in the renewable and conventional energy segments. Borja Martín Ariza is another key name to note for corporate transactions within the renewables sector.
