Our Service

I am an industry recognised energy lawyer specialising in renewables and low carbon energy transactions both in the UK and internationally. I also regularly advise on ESG and sustainability issues.

I have over 20 years' experience as an energy lawyer advising utilities, project developers, large industrial consumers, property developers, funders, sponsors and energy services companies (ESCOs) on energy-related transactions.

Within that time, the energy sector has undergone many changes including the development of new business models, financing structures and novel revenue generating contracts.

I work with clients across a range of clean energy technologies including energy storage, offshore and onshore wind, solar photovoltaics, combined heat and power, district heating and cooling, electric vehicles, geothermal, tidal, as well as traditional power generation. I regularly advise large energy consumers on innovative projects such as data centre developments and commercial and industrial carbon reduction strategies.

A common theme is that my clients are entrepreneurial.

Jonathan Cohen has extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of energy law. He has dedicated his career to this field, enabling him to navigate the intricacies of energy regulations, policies, and industry dynamics with ease. The team has a strong track-record in energy-related cases.

I would highly recommend Jonathan Cohen for any related legal needs in the energy industry. Jonathan possesses a unique set of attributes that make him an exceptional choice for handling complex energy law matters. I am confident that Jonathan’s team and his own sector expertise and dedication will make him a valuable asset for any clients in this space.

Jonathan has provided advice to Thrive Renewables plc on a number of energy transactions; which included negotiation of PPAs on operational and construction assets as well as due diligence on PPAs for new assets. We appreciate the expertise and efficient approach demonstrated by Jonathan and his team. We also value the commerciality demonstrated by the knowledge of storage and the new smart energy systems which Jonathan is always keen to share with his clients.
