Roythornes is one of the UK’s leading 'natural resources' firms with our lawyers benefitting from years of experience in this fast-moving sector.
We have significant experience throughout the energy industry, acting for both landowners and developers through the spectrum of energy projects from small solar and anaerobic digestion projects to large offshore wind farms. We have dedicated teams who have the experience, knowledge and commercial awareness to ensure your project completes swiftly and efficiently. We are renowned for our pragmatic approach to projects no matter the size. Put simply- we “get it done”.
Roythornes has over 75 years of experience advising agricultural and landowning clients and is very well placed to advise holistically on how any energy and waste projects being taken on by landowners might affect existing agricultural and landowning businesses. We can, for example, provide advice on the tax implications and potential impacts on existing environmental schemes of any energy and waste schemes. This ensures that when acting for developers we can foresee and overcome quickly potential practical issues that will need to be addressed to make a project a success
We also have dedicated teams to assist with funding agreements, corporate structures, joint venture agreements, feedstock agreements, port agreements, planning, construction contracts, Crown Estate agreements, construction warranties, the OFTO regime, contacts in the PR industry, etc, so that we are uniquely able to provide a “one stop shop” for all of your project’s needs.
Roythornes is also at the forefront of new technologies, benefitting from significant contacts within the industry to ensure we are prepared to respond to swift changes to the energy industry and the demands those changes bring.
