As the Energy team leader, Tessa Laws is a highly experienced senior lawyer whose deep understanding of the sector derives from her advisory and direct involvement in a number of substantial, high-profile initiatives and projects.
Previously, Tessa was a partner and head of corporate at the City law firm Rosenblatt, where she established its successful renewable energy practice as well as its Japan desk. After that, she moved on to set up her own legal practice.
For example, while acting for the investor Platina Partners, Tessa led legal advice on establishing Cyprus’s first wind farm. Subsequently, she managed over 200 MW of investment in solar PV into the UK market. In addition, Tessa has acted across the low-carbon energy spectrum, counselling operators of battery storage, biomass, waste-to-energy and hydro energy.
Renewable energy and its technologies have shaped Tessa’s professional life and consequently, they have driven her passion for many years. In fact, 2008 she founded the New Energy Awards, hosting several stellar companies internationally in London to celebrate their success in green energy.
Today, at Acuity Law with Purpose, Tessa provides hands-on commercial advice as well as guidance to a wide range of clients, from individuals to institutions. Moreover, she continues to drive sustainable growth and champion innovation in the sector.
