Acuity Law and Purpose Law Join Forces to Drive Global Green Energy Investment
A powerful new legal alliance has emerged, set to energise the renewable transition across borders. Acuity Law, one of the UK’s most forward-thinking legal firms, has teamed up with international boutique practice Purpose Law to launch a pioneering joint venture: Acuity Law with Purpose.
This cross-border collaboration is laser-focused on unlocking green energy investment across the UK, Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, accelerating the global march towards a low-carbon future.
By combining deep-rooted expertise in English and Welsh law with Purpose Law’s international commercial agility, the venture is poised to serve as a strategic catalyst for clean energy growth. Its role? To guide investors, developers, governments, and financial institutions through the often tangled maze of cross-border regulations while ensuring Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals remain front and centre.
Unlocking Opportunity Across Borders
At its core, Acuity Law with Purpose is a conduit for two-way investment and legal clarity. The venture enables UK-based stakeholders to engage confidently with renewable energy initiatives in high-growth markets across MENA and Europe, while simultaneously helping overseas investors plug into the UK’s booming green energy scene.
Tessa Laws, CEO and founder of Purpose Law, captured the venture’s ethos perfectly: “Sustainable energy is the greatest global investment opportunity of our generation. This joint venture allows us to bring clarity to complexity, using UK legal frameworks to support bold international ambitions, and help green energy projects from concept to fruition, and beyond.”
It’s a statement underpinned by action. Discussions are already underway for a slate of energy infrastructure projects stretching across Morocco, Egypt, and the Gulf. Meanwhile, investor-backed ventures in Wales and England are gaining traction, proving this isn’t just talk—it’s legal strategy in motion.
From Uskmouth to the Gulf
This isn’t the first time Acuity Law has been at the heart of energy transition. The firm previously advised on the transformation of the decommissioned Uskmouth Power Station in South Wales into a cutting-edge battery energy storage system (BESS). Their involvement spanned permitting, land and grid negotiations, and investment structuring.
That project stands as a prime example of how repurposing existing assets can unlock new value in the green economy. By turning a coal-fired relic into a hub for low-carbon energy storage, Acuity Law proved that sustainable innovation and legacy infrastructure don’t have to be at odds.
Sean Chapman James, Senior Associate at Acuity Law, emphasised the firm’s broader ambition: “With access to government, sovereign, and private capital, and a team of dual-qualified legal and policy experts, Acuity Law with Purpose aims to accelerate the pace of net-zero progress through legal innovation and commercial connectivity.”
Strategic Objectives with Global Reach
The venture outlines a bold yet grounded mission that touches every corner of the green energy ecosystem. Among its primary objectives are:
- Empowering UK Developers: Providing access to scalable renewable energy projects in emerging markets, enabling capital deployment with reduced risk.
- Supporting International Partners: Assisting governments, ministries, and institutional investors in structuring legally robust partnerships with UK legal and financial entities.
- Building Long-Term Trust: Ensuring stakeholder confidence through meticulous legal due diligence, transparent frameworks, and a proven track record.
This approach is designed not only to boost individual project success but to help build resilient infrastructure networks that serve national and regional climate targets.
ESG and Global Legal Synergy
Why now? The global legal landscape is shifting rapidly as ESG considerations climb the agenda. Investors, regulators, and policymakers are increasingly demanding sustainable outcomes—and law firms must evolve to match.
The joint venture addresses this head-on. Acuity Law with Purpose is more than a service provider. It acts as an embedded partner throughout the lifecycle of a project, offering:
- Legal clarity from pre-investment to final delivery.
- Strategic advice on ESG compliance.
- Risk mitigation through local insight and international reach.
From hydrogen hubs in the Gulf to solar arrays in North Africa and offshore wind in the UK, the partnership is helping knit together the fractured landscape of global green energy law.
Meet the Minds Behind the Mission
It’s no coincidence that this venture sprang from the collaboration between Acuity Law and Purpose Law—two firms with reputations for bold legal thinking.
- Acuity Law is a top-tier national firm known for its innovative approach. With AI-assisted legal services and a sharp commercial lens, the firm tackles complex challenges for clients across sectors.
- Purpose Law, established in 2024 by entrepreneurial lawyer Tessa Laws, brings a fresh and personable take on high-stakes legal work. The firm focuses on pragmatic, senior-led advice tailored to global commercial needs.
Together, their shared values and complementary strengths create a formidable platform for cross-border success.
Accelerating the Green Economy with Legal Precision
The need for legally secure, cross-jurisdictional green energy frameworks has never been greater. As nations face mounting pressure to deliver on net-zero pledges, infrastructure-scale solutions are in high demand. That’s where Acuity Law with Purpose steps in: turning complex regulations into accessible routes for progress.
By offering legal innovation wrapped in commercial pragmatism, the joint venture promises to accelerate green investments, de-risk international ventures, and bring critical projects to life. In doing so, it bolsters the global energy transition—not by chance, but by calculated, collaborative design.
A Bright Future Built on Expertise
As this dynamic venture takes root, the message is clear: when law firms act with purpose, they can do more than just interpret the rules. They can shape the future.
With Acuity Law with Purpose at the helm, a new chapter begins—one where legal frameworks are enablers, not barriers, to clean energy success.
