Hadrien Espiard

I am a commercial associate in our energy and infrastructure teams in London.

I have worked on a number of regulatory advisory projects helping clients navigate incoming EU and UK legislation, particularly with regard to EV charging regulations, the national electricity transmission system and ESG.

I am a member of Bird & Bird's ESG working group and have spent time developing an ESG tracking tool to help map out the regulatory landscape for our clients and help them assess compliance risks. I have a particular interest in the intersection between ESG and technology and have assisted in drafting the initial contracts to establish a carbon credit trading platform.

I have worked on a suite of energy and infrastructure contracts including O&M agreements, master services agreements and concession agreements.

I spoke at the Retrofit Society's event touching on energy as a service and large scale decarbonisation of the housing sector.
