Greenwood Roche, as a national specialist projects law firm, was conceived specifically to offer clients a different model for legal services.We provide top-tier specialist legal expertise, extremely cost-efficiently.Most of our partners have all been partners in large traditional law firms but have chosen to focus on a selection of complementary practice areas that enable us to focus on clients with major projects.

We cover all legal aspects of a project from pre-project regulatory settings through to structuring, regulatory advice, overseas investment approvals, landowner negotiations where relevant, iwi consultation, permitting and consenting, financing, construction, commissioning and operation, and eventually to upgrades, restructuring or decommissioning.We are experienced in long term PPAs, CfDs and other electricity derivatives, wholesale market operation and grid connection, and all foreign investment and corporate structuring and commercial issues.We have an active public law and regulatory practice across the energy sector, including in electricity wholesale market regulation and regulatory reform generally.

Our clients have direct access to our very experienced senior lawyers, not juniors or generalists.Our partners and senior lawyers are regarded as leaders in their fields and thrive working on difficult projects that break new ground.

Our business structure ensures that partners and other lawyers work as integrated teams, selected from across disciplines as needed.For each instruction, the most appropriate lawyers are selected on a “best for client” basis.

All of this means we are positioned to deliver high quality useable legal advice that helps clients achieve their goals.
