Eversheds has appointed Andrew Fleetwood, a former Freshfields solicitor, as a Senior Associate in its Real Estate Practice. Fleetwood will focus on renewable energy and will work closely with the company’s Clean Energy Team.
Fleetwood has extensive expertise providing guidance to clients in the UK and internationally, working as an advisor in the clean energy sector for a number of years. He will continue to work on a range of renewable energy projects including some current solar projects in Cornwall, including the largest site to receive planning permission so far, and on windfarm projects in Scotland.
