Bridget Newman and Nimoy Kher bring international private sector expertise in infrastructure and energy law to support evolving client needs.
Sharpe Pritchard has announced the appointment of two senior legal specialists, marking a significant investment in its capability to advise on innovative financing structures for major public sector initiatives.
Bridget Newman joins the firm from Bell Gully in New Zealand, where she advised government clients on high-value infrastructure and energy transactions.
Her 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.
He brings deep expertise in the legal and regulatory aspects of renewable generation and large-scale infrastructure delivery.
Nimoy has advised from project inception through to operation, making him well placed to guide clients through today’s increasingly complex financing models.
Tim Farr, Managing Partner, 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”.
