Chris Wills LLB (Hons)

Partner

I am a corporate and commercial law specialist with over a decade of experience.

Although I have expertise in advising clients in the renewable energy sector (particularly developers of, and investors in, wind, solar and anaerobic digestion projects), I advise business clients across a diverse range of sectors.

The clients that I work with range from start-ups and owner-managed businesses to multi-million-pound companies with a global reach.
