They work on cutting edge, market-leading projects work including compressed air, wind, battery, energy storage, etc. The work is comprised of a mix of 70% corporate transactional (acquisitions, joint venture, structuring, divestments etc) and 30% projects (offtake arrangements, helping projects get off the ground). Not many firms have this blend between corporate and projects expertise.

The Candidate
