Clyde & Co has continued its investment in its energy transition capabilities with the hire of Suriya Ashok as a partner in its energy, projects and construction practice, effective 15 September.

With more than 15 years' experience, Ashok's work is focused on the construction and delivery of renewable energy projects, with particular expertise in solar energy, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and broader energy transition infrastructure. Her clients include owners and operators, funders, utility companies and waste operators. Ashok advises clients on complex engineering and construction contracts, maintenance and operation contracts, security documentation and appointments, with experience working across the full lifecycle of energy projects. She is particularly known for her work in UK and European utility-scale battery projects. Clyde & Co's energy and construction co-head Steve Cannon said the firm has seen "significant demand for specialist legal advice across the construction and projects sector" as the energy transition continues. "Suriya brings a combination of deep technical construction expertise, strong commercial judgement and a proven ability to build trusted client relationships in the renewable energy market," Cannon continued. "Her expertise in battery storage and wider clean energy infrastructure will strengthen our energy, projects and construction practice as we continue to support clients navigating increasingly complex energy transition projects." Ashok began her legal career with a five-year stint at Trowers & Hamlins, before departing for Withers in 2014. She later went on to practise at Geldards and Foot Anstey before arriving at Freeths in 2023. On her new role, she said: "Joining Clyde & Co's energy, projects and construction team provides a strong platform to collaborate with colleagues across the firm's international network and support clients on complex energy transition projects." Last month, Clyde & Co strengthened its London-based insurance offerings with the appointment of former DAC Beachcroft lawyer Jack Holling as partner.
