- Knowledgeable partners that are able to deliver strong market experience at a competitive rate.

The lead partner has been highly engaged, accessible, and proactive, providing clear strategic direction and helping navigate complex issues efficiently. The broader team, including associates, has been consistently responsive, well-prepared, and solutions-focused. Communication is clear and timely, and there is a strong sense of accountability and ownership across the team. Partner: Stephen Hill Senior Associate: Cécile Renaud
- Eversheds Sutherland’s Infrastructure M&A practice stands out for its combination of strong technical capability and a highly commercial, solution-oriented mindset. The team is consistently responsive and collaborative, with senior partners remaining actively engaged throughout transactions rather than delegating excessively. This ensures continuity, efficiency, and confidence at key decision points. One of the team’s key strengths is its ability to provide clear, pragmatic advice that is tailored to the commercial context, rather than overly theoretical or risk-averse positions. This is particularly valuable in complex infrastructure transactions where balancing risk, timing, and stakeholder interests is critical.
- The individual partners are what make Eversheds Sutherland stand out. Their knowledge in their respective fields is excellent. Their willingness to bring in other partners should they need further input in a new area is most helpful and constructive. The firm's depth and breadth ensures that there is always the necessary expertise.
- Good, practical commercial advice.
