We support clients throughout the lifecycle of energy and infrastructure projects, offering:
- Drafting and negotiation of standard form contracts including NEC, FIDIC, MF/1, and IChemE, along with bespoke EPC and turnkey agreements
- Tailored legal contracts for Combined Heat and Power (CHP), Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and solar energy developments

Why Choose Hawkswell Kilvington?

We take the time to understand your technology, timelines, and risk profile – ensuring contracts are tailored to facilitate delivery, manage risk, and support long-term success.
We combine legal clarity with commercial insight to help you move forward with confidence.
