Lux Nova Partners Limited is an innovative boutique formed by ten senior energy lawyers who provide comprehensive advice in the clean energy industry with particular strength in the heat sector. The firm has also been branching out into regenerative and circular economy topics.

In a longstanding matter, the firm has been acting as legal partner in the delivery consortium led by Triple Point Investment Management managing two major Government decarbonisation funds: BEIS’ £320m Heat Network Investment Programme (HNIP), and DESNZ’s £288m Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF), which aims to drive even greater decarbonisation of the heat sector. Tom Bainbridge, who has over twenty years’ experience, leads on the matter.

Nikola Zahariev has been acting for key client Alpha Real Capital on various renewables transactions, including one of its largest acquisitions to date, a wind portfolio sold by Capital Dynamics.

David Short is advising Wendling Beck Environment Project on the structuring and contracts for a 2,000 acre nature restoration and biodiversity enhancement project in Norfolk funded through the sale of environmental credits and ecosystem services.

Another client is green hydrogen developer Meld Energy regarding an investment by World Kinect Sustainability Ventures.

The team is not only highly active in various industry roles and thought leadership, but is also engaged in other businesses such as energy efficiency consultancy, energy policy work, and business start-up and strategy consultancy.

Further demonstrating its dedication to advancing the green transition, the firm has committed to at least 1% of its turnover to be donated to green charities and campaigns.

With no office, the firm has no direct emissions, and operations are entirely paperless.
