Burges Salmon has expanded its real estate energy team with the appointments of partner Dixcee Fast and director Janice Napier.

Fast (pictured, centre), an experienced real estate energy lawyer, advises developers and landowners on clean energy projects, including wind, solar, and tidal developments. ‘I look forward to supporting clients on pivotal projects that champion the energy transition and sustainable development,’ she says.

She also advises on leasing, development work, and portfolio management. ‘Burges Salmon’s commitment to collaboration and innovation aligns perfectly with my professional values,’ she says.

Partner Danny Lee welcomes their arrival, stating, ‘Their superb understanding of renewables will support many of our clients as we guide them through the complexities of the energy transition.’

Based in the firm’s Edinburgh office, Fast and Napier are joined by solicitor Caitlin Preston (left), reinforcing Burges Salmon’s leading role in the clean energy and built environment sectors.
