Firm expands energy offering with double legal director hire

Growing national law firm, Foot Anstey LLP, has strengthened its energy and infrastructure sector team with two new legal directors, Laura Rajanah and Adam Weatherley.

Laura Rajanah has dedicated 15 years of her career to the energy sector, focusing on the real estate elements associated with projects. She has been involved in various UK projects that have involved new technologies and renewable energy solutions. She has a particular focus on the co-location of technologies including hydrogen and working with clients to maximise their contribution to meet net zero targets. 

Adam Weatherley joins Foot Anstey with over a decade of experience specialising in the real estate aspects of clean energy and infrastructure projects. He has advised clients on clean energy technologies including wind (onshore and offshore) as well as solar storage solutions and nuclear.

Ian Stubbs, head of energy and infrastructure, commented: 'This is an exciting time to be welcoming Laura and Adam to Foot Anstey. Their expertise in navigating complex legal landscapes will complement our innovative approach to supporting clients based in the UK and internationally. The Foot Anstey Energy & Infrastructure practice is evolving quickly, and we are keen to welcome many more talented individuals to the team. We have the expertise to support on all aspects of the myriad legal issues that might be faced by businesses operating in this space. Demand is growing, so I urge anyone who wants to be part of this exciting sector in an innovative and vibrant team to get in touch via Foot Anstey's careers website.'
