Lightsource are accredited by SRA  to offer training contracts

Lightsource Renewable Energy has recently become one of a select band of UK companies to be accredited by the Solicitors Regulation Authority to offer training contracts to trainee solicitors. As the UK’s leading generator of solar power, Lightsource draws heavily on legal expertise when developing new projects. In 2011 it appointed its own in-house lawyer, Dr Ece Gürsoy, who now heads up a legal team comprising nine qualified lawyers, one trainee solicitor, and a legal secretary. The team has high-level expertise in property, project finance, corporate and construction law.
