What we do

Practice areas

One firm, six connected practices. Every engagement links strategy to execution: market intelligence, regulatory compliance, project economics and the capital to fund it.

🌱

Climate & Carbon Markets

Carbon credit origination and monetisation from agri-residue, waste-to-value and nature-based projects: biochar, compressed biogas (CBG), briquettes and pellets, recycling, reforestation and biodiversity. We work across the major registries and standards — Verra (VCS & CCB), Gold Standard, Puro.earth, Global Carbon Council and Article 6 pathways — with MRV design, GHG accounting and buyer pipelines.

How we work

From first assessment to financial close

Most advisers stop at the report. We stay through the deal: linking technical reality, commercial strategy and financing into one bankable narrative, and standing beside you when it goes in front of lenders and investors.

Assess

Residue and resource audits, market mapping, route screening and an initial assumptions pack, typically within the first 90 days.

Structure

Mass balance, P&L modelling, carbon-accounting design and management workshops to lock the business case.

Fund

Fundraising packs, investor decks, partner maps and pilot plans built to stand up to board and lender scrutiny.

Execute

Debt and equity processes, implementation support and execution governance through to operations.
