Our barristers have considerable expertise in developing areas such as electric vehicle infrastructure and battery storage.

We act for a wide range of clients involved at each stage of the electricity lifecycle, including the generation, transmission, distribution and retail sectors. Our clients include regulators, energy supply companies, and local and central government bodies.
Where our barristers act
Our barristers are experienced in domestic public and private law, as well as the retained EU law framework. Domestic work includes High Court actions and planning inquiries.
We also act in international and cross-border disputes, such as the current development consent order (DCO) application for an electric power transmission link between England and France.
