TLT appoints Alex Murdie to advise on infrastructure
Alex Murdie qualified at TLT in 2011 and will return having worked at Pinsent Masons and DLA Piper.
Specialising in infrastructure, Murdie will support the development of the firm’s infrastructure practice in the North West from TLT’s Eden office in Salford.
He will advise TLT on a broad range of construction, infrastructure and energy projects, with a particular focus on the clean energy sector.
Murdie has experience working with a range of developers and funders on grid-scale solar, onshore wind developments and battery storage projects.
Additionally, he has worked in infrastructure development in the water sector as well as advising investors on the demolition and renovation contracts for a football stadium.
On his appointment, Murdie said: “It is a really exciting time to rejoin the TLT team, particularly given the national focus on the infrastructure and future energy sectors.
“The demand for infrastructure is consistently increasing and clients are under significant time pressure to deliver new projects to meet those requirements.”
He added: “TLT’s significant experience in these markets means we are all well positioned to help those clients achieve delivery of their projects on time.”
James Chadwick, partner and head of location in Manchester, said: “Alex’s appointment is the latest demonstration of our strength and ambition in Manchester, as we continue to attract some of the finest legal talent in the region.
“It is also a move that recognises the legal landscape of the North West and the increasing demand for legal advisors with experience in advising on major infrastructure projects.”
Simon Goss, partner and head of TLT’s PIC team, praised the appointment: “When we embarked on the strategic hire process to bolster and drive forward our expanding infrastructure practice, I don’t think I could have hope for a better outcome than the appointment of Alex.”
He continued: “Not only is he one of the best lawyers in his field significantly enhancing our infrastructure capability, he is a colleague who has lived and breathed TLT’s people and client focused values, and one who is welcomed back by the TLT community.”
