Andrew Smith joins us as Head of Renewables

Andrew Smith brings 5 years’ experience of advising clients on green energy and renewables projects to Young & Partners. 

Andrew has been a solicitor for almost thirty years, specialising in commercial property matters.  Over the last 5 years he has increasingly focused on helping land owners, developers, investors and infra-structure providers develop sustainable energy projects in Scotland.

Tom Johnston, managing partner of Young & Partners, said “we are delighted to have Andrew join us at such an exciting time.  Andrew’s great experience in leading transactions and advising on renewable investment is second to none.  On top of our existing expertise this gives us real fire-power in the marketplace”.

Andrew Smith, the new Head of Renewables, said “given what can only be an ever increasing need to focus on alternative forms of energy, the renewables sector will increase in scale and importance. It is though a finite  market and  those companies quick enough to see the opportunity are the ones likely to benefit from this sector"
