National law firm Bevan Brittan has recruited three experts into its energy and resource management group.

Senior associate Rob Williams acts for private and public sector clients on non-contentious construction matters and joins the firm in Bristol. He has acted for commercial organisations in the construction and energy sector, as well as lending institutions, local authorities, and an in-house legal counsel role at the Welsh Assembly.

Associate Desiree Chong joins Bevan Brittan in London. Chong, an infrastructure and projects lawyer, has worked across both the private and public sectors advising on complex transport and renewable energy projects in Australia. She has advised government bodies, developers, contractors and public authorities.

Solicitor Ricardo Johnson joins the firm from grid connection provider G2 Energy, where he was legal counsel.

Nadeem Arshad, head of the energy and resource management group, said: 'Net Zero projects are foremost in the minds of all organisations, whether they are in the public sector or private sector, and that is only going to increase in the coming decade.'

'We are seeing more and more requests for advice in both established markets like EV charging infrastructure, solar and battery, district heating networks and energy from waste, as well as in new sectors such as hydrogen and carbon capture'. 

'On that basis, the latest three members of our fast-growing team have arrived at the perfect time and their collective and individual experience will be invaluable to the clients we are working with now and those we will be helping in the future. I am delighted to welcome Rob, Desiree and Ricardo to the firm.'

The group advises developers, investors, funders, utilities, corporates and public sector organisations and agencies on matters including energy generation, energy efficiency, innovation and helping clients to achieve their Net Zero objectives. They support clients throughout the lifecycle of a project from land assembly, planning, and funding, through to construction, operation and decommissioning.
