Commercial-law firm Philip Lee has appointed Lev Gantly (pictured) as a partner and head of its energy practice.

The firm describes Gantly as an experienced transactional lawyer, with a focus on renewable-energy projects, the broader energy transition and sectoral decarbonisation.

He specialises in renewable-energy project investment, development, and finance, as well as international project finance within the voluntary carbon market.

‘Seismic movement’

Before joining Philip Lee, Gantly was based between the Dublin and London offices of a large international law firm. He has also spent time working in law firms in both Sydney and Singapore.

The new partner said that he was excited to be joining Philip Lee at “a critical time for the energy market, with seismic movement towards energy transition to clean, renewable sources”.

Alice Whittaker (partner and head of environment and climate at Philip Lee) said that the appointment would add further depth and dimension to its energy practice.
