TLT grows projects, infrastructure and construction team with appointment of new partner

National law firm TLT has enhanced its projects, infrastructure and construction (PIC) practice, welcoming back infrastructure specialist Alex Murdie as partner. Alex will be based in the firm’s Manchester office.

Alex qualified at TLT in 2011 and has been re-appointed after having worked at Pinsent Masons and DLA Piper. 

Bringing over a decade of specialist experience advising on a broad range of construction, infrastructure and energy projects, Alex has built a reputation for being a well-respected and trusted advisor in the sector.

His extensive infrastructure experience includes advising on framework agreements for the development, repair and maintenance of significant transport routes, annual maintenance and infrastructure development in the water sector, advising investors on the demolition and renovation contracts for a football stadium for a high-profile football club and advising on the contracts for the procurement of an eFuels facility.

Alex’s practice also encompasses the future energy sector, in particular in respect of the development of grid infrastructure and grid stabilisation projects across the United Kingdom and other European jurisdictions. Alex has a particular focus in the clean energy sector, having acted for a range of developers and funders on grid-scale solar, onshore wind developments and battery storage projects. 

At TLT, Alex will play a central part in building the firm’s infrastructure portfolio, working closely with the future energy and public sector teams.

Commenting on his appointment, Alex said: “It is a really exciting time to re-join the TLT team, particularly given the national focus on the infrastructure and future energy sectors. The demand for new infrastructure is consistently increasing and clients are under significant time pressure to deliver new projects to meet those requirements. TLT’s significant experience in these markets means we are ideally positioned to help those clients achieve delivery of their projects on time. I look forward to playing an important role in continuing to grow and expand TLT’s offering in the infrastructure and future energy sectors.”

Simon Goss, partner and head of TLT’s PIC team added: “When we embarked on the strategic hire process to bolster and drive forward our expanding infrastructure practice, I don't think I could have hoped for a better outcome than the appointment of Alex. Not only is he one of the best lawyers in his field significantly enhancing our infrastructure capability, he is a colleague who has lived and breathed TLT’s people and client focussed values and one who is welcomed back by the TLT community.”
