Our renewable energy experts advise landowners, developers and communities on projects across Scotland, providing combined expertise in rural issues and renewables

Renewable energy projects are a valuable source of revenue for rural landowners and communities and we work with landowners, developers and communities on wind, hydro, biomass and solar projects. Developer clients include Community Wind Power and Endurance Wind.

Cross-disciplinary expertise

Our reputation in this sector is based on our ability to advise clients on all the legal processes required to deliver a successful renewable energy project, which requires a full understanding of the renewable energy and rural sectors.

We have a team of people drawn from different specialisms, including rural services, commercial leasing and corporate and technology, who are prepared to make the extra effort for clients – to listen, to innovate, and to do everything required to make a complex project come together.
