Shepherd and Wedderburn has been appointed as legal adviser for the Energy Transition Zone (ETZ) earmarked for Aberdeen.
Following a competitive tender the firm’s clean energy group, comprising more than 90 lawyers, has been selected to advise ETZ on all corporate, property and construction, and regulatory matters.
Maggie McGinlay, ETZ chief executive, said: “I’m delighted that Shepherd and Wedderburn have been appointed. They share our ambition to reposition the north east of Scotland as a globally recognised integrated energy cluster focused on the delivery of net zero.”
Not-for-profit ETZ Ltd was launched earlier this year to deliver the transition zone earmarked for an area of about 173 acres on the south side of Aberdeen.
It aims to economically reposition the north-east by reducing its longstanding reliance on oil and gas.
