National law firm Bevan Brittan has recruited four legal specialists to its growing Energy & Resource Management Group, after seeing a marked rise in new instructions from across these sectors.
New Partner Gemma Glasspole has joined the firm’s Birmingham office from Pinsent Masons, while new London-based Legal Director Tim Kittow arrives from a role as Senior Legal Counsel at Trinzic, a renewables investment and asset management business.
The pair have added their extensive expertise to a Group which has also just recruited two Solicitors, Priscilla Allen and Alex Kannegiesser-Bailey. Priscilla has moved to Bevan Brittan after almost five years at Burges Salmon in Bristol. Alex has joined in the London office, having been an advisory lawyer to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero.

The arrivals have been hugely welcomed by Nadeem Arshad, Partner and Head of the Energy & Resource Management Group. He said the team’s growth was vital as private and public sector clients focus on their long-term energy and resource management planning in line with their Net Zero and recycling targets.
Nadeem said: “The arrivals of Gemma, Tim, Priscilla and Alex will add significant breadth and depth to a team which is already established as a leader in clean energy, waste and resource management.
“Energy and resource efficiency is at the heart of every organisation’s future planning and we play a vital role by adding our expertise and experience to our clients’ teams. This ensures their immediate and long-term needs are met and means they can successfully negotiate both the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
“These latest fantastic recruits will not be the last, as demand for our expertise and market knowledge is growing all the time.”
Gemma is a PPP and commercial lawyer with 18 years’ experience of advising across a range of energy and resource management sectors, including Waste PFI/PPP, Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure and Carbon Capture and Storage. She advises both public and private sector clients on project structuring, procurement and contract management. Gemma becomes the latest high-profile appointment to Bevan Brittan’s Birmingham office at 45 Church Street, which has welcomed six other new senior hires in the past few months.
Tim joins as a Legal Director with construction and EPC expertise, having advised across a range of infrastructure sectors over the last 14 years. He is a renewables specialist with particular expertise in Solar (ground mounted, floating and rooftop) and District Energy projects.
