The firm also won the Energy Security & Transition category with energy partner Gareth Phillips taking home the gong for his work advising Island Green Power and Low Carbon on an innovative and collaborative approach to the delivery of solar energy in the UK.

Congratulations to everyone who won and was shortlisted for an award – it’s a significant achievement for the legal services industry as a whole. Given what we’ve seen and heard about generative AI, next year’s awards are likely to be even more competitive.”
