Schofield Sweeney continues to advise landowners on complex renewable energy and natural resource projects. The team is frequently instructed where landowners require specialist support negotiating with developers whose documentation has become more stringent in response to funder requirements. The practice also maintains a strong presence in infrastructure and environmental matters. Team head Adam Hastie has recently acted for several landowners on wind, battery storage and solar projects, while Karen Crutchley is also a key member of the team.
