We are delighted with the sustained recognition we are receiving in the Legal 500 and Chambers directories.
Team recognition
In the Legal 500, we continue to be ranked in Tier 3 (Power category).
And we have now also been ranked in Chambers, (Energy & Natural Resources category) thereby receiving formal recognition in both leading legal directories in the UK.
As a purpose-driven, boutique law firm of 11 Partners, we are especially proud of this, given the size of the firms we are competing against, and the breadth of these categories (which, unlike us, are not only focussed on Renewables, Clean Energy and Natural Capital, but also include broader Electricity and Nuclear work).
Individual recognition
Four of our Partners – Tom Bainbridge, Sandy Abrahams, Nikola Zahariev and Louisa Cilenti are again all listed as “Leading Partners” in the Legal 500. That is more than any other law firm in the UK.
Tom Bainbridge is also listed as a leading lawyer in Chambers (for the 19. year running).
Client quotes
Thank you to all our clients for putting their confidence in us. We have had some great feedback, including:
‘Lux Nova has unparalleled experience in the biggest decarbonisation challenge of the 21st century: heat. They have worked on both sides of heat projects, giving them unique insight into both sides’ priorities, and further have worked to develop policy around heat too. Their deep expertise and experience makes them invaluable to work with.’
"`The Lux Nova team is incredibly experienced, responsive and commercial. The firm regularly goes beyond its remit to support client needs."
"All the Lux team members are incredibly responsive. They go above and beyond our expectations."
"The firm demonstrates an ability to handle complex and sophisticated legal matters in a rapidly evolving district heating market."
‘Sandy Abrahams is phenomenal to work with. She quickly grasps the business’ needs and is able to compare this to how the other side will react. It’s like having a cheat code on our side.’
"Tom Banbridge has commercial smarts, clarity of thought and a cool head."
‘We worked with Louisa Cilenti of Lux Nova Partners and had an extremely positive experience in an essentially unprecedented area. In Louisa we found someone who could be both a sound advisor and a creator of practical end product amidst great ambiguity.’
“We worked with Nikola from Lux Nova on a complex sleeved PPA transaction. We were attracted by their reputation and their green only approach which aligns with our ethos. They have a senior only approach which we prefer and are very commercial and pragmatic which worked well for the type of project, combining an immediate and holistic understanding not only of the PPA issues themselves, but also considering the interactions with the debt finance, equity investment and solar project development issues. We like their transparent approach to fees – which is very commercial and refreshing.”
