Law firm Sharpe Pritchard has hired two senior legal specialists to meet rising private sector demand for advice on energy and infrastructure projects.

Bridget Newman joins the firm as an Associate from Bell Gully in New Zealand, where she advised government clients on high-value infrastructure and energy transactions.

Sharpe Pritchard said Newman’s track record includes steering complex regulatory frameworks and structuring public-private partnerships across a broad spectrum of public sector priorities. 

Joining alongside her is Nimoy Kher, previously Sole Legal Counsel at EDF Renewables’ Commercial & Industrial Solar Division.

Kher brings deep expertise in the legal and regulatory aspects of renewable generation and large-scale infrastructure delivery, the firm said. He joins as a Managing Associate.

“Nimoy has advised from project inception through to operation, making him well placed to guide clients through today’s increasingly complex financing models,” it added. 

Tim Farr, Managing Partner at Sharpe Pritchard, said: "Our deep-rooted expertise in the public sector positions Sharpe Pritchard as a natural thought leader in energy and infrastructure. Increasingly, we're seeing this expertise sought by private sector clients, particularly around ESG financing and innovative project structures.

“The strategic appointments of Bridget Newman and Nimoy Kher underlines our commitment to meeting this rising demand and ensuring our practice recognises and supports the evolving needs of clients across both sectors".

The firm said the hires form part of a broader strategy “to meet the public sector’s growing appetite for legal partners who combine legal rigour with commercial acumen”.
