Herrington Carmichael’s Real Estate team advised in connection with the lease, construction, and operation of 2 solar farm sites in the UK.

Led by Liz Hailey (Partner, Real Estate) and Hannah Clouting (Solicitor, Real Estate) the team delivered comprehensive support and advice throughout this transaction including the initial negotiations of the transaction terms and outline of the strategic commercial agreement, to drafting of the lease documentation, dealing with the construction timescales and the title review and investigation of each development site and finally through to completion.

Paul Haythornthwaite, Director of OC Energy Holdings Ltd commented:

“The Real Estate team at Herrington Carmichael were excellent in dealing with this transaction right from the initial negotiations. They delivered their expertise in a pragmatic and commercial way emphasising the importance of having a legal team with the relevant industry knowledge and experience in complex renewable energy and infrastructure agreements. They acted efficiently and responsively and maintained a professional approach throughout the transaction particularly when dealing with unexpected requirements and stringent timescales.”
