Beauchamps’ award-winning Energy & Natural Resources team is one of Ireland’s leading specialist renewable energy practices. For almost two decades, we have advised developers, investors, funders, utilities and public bodies on projects across the full energy lifecycle, from site assembly and consenting through to financing, construction, operation, acquisition and disposal.
Our experience spans onshore and offshore wind, solar PV, battery energy storage, anaerobic digestion and biomethane, flexible generation and emerging technologies including green hydrogen. We combine deep sector knowledge with the resources of a full-service commercial law firm, allowing us to bring together energy, corporate, planning and environmental, real estate, construction and finance specialists as projects require.
We are known for practical, commercially focused advice. Rather than simply identifying legal risks, we work with clients to find workable solutions, anticipate issues and keep projects moving. Our long-standing involvement in the Irish energy market also gives us a detailed understanding of the regulatory, grid, consenting and route-to-market issues that shape energy investment in Ireland.
