Clean Energy League Tables 2021: Taylor Wessing ranks among the top five

For the third year in a row, our international Energy & Infrastructure team has improved its ranking in the Clean Energy League Tables.

Our Energy & Infrastructure team's continued improvement in the Clean Energy League Tables rankings is a testament to the way we collaborate with high-profile clients across jurisdictions. It also highlights that our legal experts and their cross-border expertise remain among the benchmark legal advisers for clean energy.
