Why it matters
Small drafting choices can shift millions over the life of a scheme. We understand how developers and funders structure deals, which issues they can move on and which they cannot. Our focus is value, control and simplicity in operation.
After signature
We stay involved through construction and operation. That includes consent requests, variations, rent reviews, dispute management, termination planning and repowering options.

Options and Leases
Negotiating the terms that will govern your land for decades
The option and the lease sit at the heart of major projects such as solar, wind, battery storage and grid infrastructure. The detail determines income, control, liabilities and exit routes. We secure terms that protect you for the full life of the scheme.
