Deal Advisory

In the fast-paced and capital-intensive world of renewable energy, the success of a project often hinges on the quality of its deals. Whether you’re acquiring assets, entering joint ventures, securing funding, or negotiating commercial terms, every transaction must be carefully structured, strategically aligned, and legally watertight. At Chamberlains, we provide deal advisory services that combine legal precision with commercial insight—helping clients close deals that drive long-term value and minimise risk.

We understand that renewable energy deals are multifaceted. They involve technical due diligence, regulatory compliance, financial modelling, and stakeholder negotiation—all under tight timelines and evolving market conditions. Our team works closely with developers, investors, financiers, and government bodies to ensure that every deal is structured to support project success and withstand future scrutiny.

Whether you’re acquiring a solar portfolio, divesting wind assets, or entering into a strategic partnership for battery storage, Chamberlains offers end-to-end legal support that simplifies complexity and empowers confident decision-making.

At Chamberlains, we care deeply about helping our clients close deals that matter. We know that behind every transaction is a vision for growth, sustainability, and impact.

Ongoing Risk and Compliance Advisory

In the renewable energy sector, legal and regulatory compliance isn’t a one-time task—it’s an ongoing responsibility. As projects move from development to operation, new risks emerge, regulations evolve, and obligations shift. At Chamberlains, we provide ongoing risk and compliance advisory services that help clients stay ahead of change, manage uncertainty, and maintain operational integrity.

We understand that compliance is about more than avoiding penalties—it’s about building trust, protecting assets, and ensuring long-term viability. Our team works closely with operators, asset managers, and corporate boards to develop compliance frameworks that are practical, scalable, and aligned with industry standards. We also help clients respond to audits, investigations, and regulatory reviews with confidence and clarity.

Whether you’re managing a portfolio of solar farms, operating a wind facility, or overseeing a battery storage network, Chamberlains offers proactive legal support that keeps your project compliant, resilient, and ready for what’s next.

Our ongoing risk and compliance services include:

• Regulatory Monitoring: Tracking changes in energy market rules, environmental legislation, and planning frameworks.
• Compliance Frameworks: Designing policies, procedures, and reporting systems that meet legal and operational requirements.
• Risk Assessments: Identifying and mitigating legal, contractual, and reputational risks across the project lifecycle.
• Audit and Investigation Support: Responding to regulatory inquiries, compliance audits, and enforcement actions.
• Contract Management: Reviewing and updating operational agreements to reflect changing conditions and obligations.
• Governance and ESG Advisory: Supporting corporate governance, sustainability reporting, and stakeholder engagement.

At Chamberlains, we believe that good compliance is proactive, not reactive. That’s why we help clients build systems that anticipate risk, adapt to change, and support continuous improvement.
