About

‘It is an exciting time to be working with such a dynamic company but also has its challenges’. Teegan Lindsay is recognised in our list for developing a sophisticated and respected legal function, supporting leading independent water and power projects specialist, ACWA Power. ‘Teegan leads a team of talented and experienced lawyers’, one private practice source says. ‘She manages extremely diverse transactions in numerous jurisdictions. She is a true leader with a vision and kindness’. Lindsay herself, sees the development of her team as among her greatest professional achievements to date. ‘Not only are they respected within the company but also within the wider legal market. They really are experts in their field and work cohesively and professionally together and with everyone they come in contact with’. Appointed general counsel in 2013, Lindsay has built up the team up to 15, bringing in wider international expertise and key specialisms. ‘This is reflective of the successes in the last 12 months’, she says of the recruitment drive. ‘And also the appreciation that in-house lawyers bring real value to the company’. Making extensive changes to processes and procedures, Lindsay even re-examined how the function communicated with the rest of the business, shifting what was traditionally an ‘email culture’ towards more face-to-face meetings. ‘The other objective I set for myself was to ensure that each individual legal team member felt valued and nurtured’, Lindsay adds. ‘It wasn’t that long ago that I was one of their colleagues rather than their boss so I had a real insight into the pressures they were experiencing’. To achieve this, Lindsay pooled considerable energy into structured trained and mentoring.
