The energy and infrastructure practice at CMS Cameron McKenna LLP is a key port of call for the procurement of major and high-value projects, especially in the utilities, renewable energy, and gas sectors. The team frequently advises clients on project transactions, which can include sale of project assets and supply agreements, along with answering regulatory queries, and overseeing project procurement and development. Mary Allan and Charles Dolphin co-head the team, and are merited by clients for ‘providing very well-considered advice which incorporates a tremendous understanding’. Ben Ewing departed the firm.
