Kathryn Parker

I am an associate in our International Commercial Group based in London. Having spent 6 months training in our Energy & Utilities sub-group, and 6 months training in our Technology Transactions sub-group, I have experience across a broad range of commercial contracts and projects. This has ranged from international SaaS projects, all the way through to district heating supply projects.

The technological and innovative transformation of the energy sector is a real interest of mine. During my time at Bird & Bird, I have worked on the national programme for the adoption of smart metering in Britain, a nationwide roll out of EV charging infrastructure and also an innovative carbon capture project for an international brewery company.

I have worked closely with a range of legal and commercial teams. This experience has allowed me to deepen my understanding of the need for pragmatic advice and understand the commercial drivers of a client's business. I was awarded, alongside my other team members, a Gold Commercial Achievement Award by one global client for demonstrating the highest standards of professionalism and commercial accomplishment.
