TLT—Nick Evans

Infrastructure and public law expertise expands with partner hire

UK law firm TLT has appointed Nick Evans as a partner in its London office, bolstering its infrastructure, planning, future energy and public law capabilities. His arrival marks a strategic move by the firm to meet rising client demand amid increased government investment in clean energy and infrastructure.

Evans joins from Broadfield (formerly BDB Pitmans) and brings over two decades of experience in energy, infrastructure and public sector work, with a particular focus on transport. He has advised on major projects including HS2 and has secured consents for a wide range of schemes, from railways and highways to flood defences. ‘This is a pivotal moment for the future energy and infrastructure sectors,’ said Evans, adding that he looks forward to contributing to the team’s growth.

He is one of the few lawyers in the UK registered as a ‘roll A’ parliamentary agent and has promoted more Bills in recent years than any other practitioner in the field. His expertise in parliamentary procedures will be key to advising clients on private and hybrid bills. ‘Nick will be bringing valuable specialist knowledge to this practice area,’ said Maria Connolly, partner and head of future energy and real estate at TLT.

Evans is the fourth partner to join this practice area in two months, following Mustafa Latif-Aramesh, Duncan O’Connor and Richard Marsh. His appointment comes as TLT prepares to welcome 33 lawyers to the team throughout 2025, bringing the total to over 150 and making it one of the largest groups of its kind in the UK.
