The Projects, Infrastructure and Energy group at Beauchamps consists of eight partners, supported by a team of 12 associates and solicitors. The firm’s strategy is to combine in  the one group market-leading legal counsel in Energy & Natural Resources, Planning & Environment, Construction & Engineering, Procurement, Housing and ESG.

The Projects, Infrastructure and Energy group is led by Ainsley Heffernan, who commented: “This multi-disciplinary team has been formed to deliver comprehensive and commercial legal advice to our clients across the full lifecycle of their projects. The recent addition of Fiona has significantly strengthened our construction team. I am delighted that Anne Maree and Jeanie, both of whom are market leaders in their respective fields, are now joining the Projects, Infrastructure and Energy team and I look forward to introducing them to our clients.”
