TLT’s future energy team advised on all aspects of the purchase, including acquisition documents and due diligence review across a multidisciplinary team including real estate, grid, accreditation and banking. The deal was led by corporate partner Antonia Silvestri supported by managing associate Peter Dunn and associate Maisie Dodds, as well as banking partner Michael Kruger, supported by Josh Swain, and head of future energy and real estate Maria Connolly and senior associate Lowri Morgan. 

Corporate partner at TLT Antonia Silvestri said: “It was a pleasure to support Downing LLP on the acquisition of this portfolio, which will have a positive impact on their investors whilst also supporting the UK’s transition to net-zero.”
