Duncan Parker

Duncan is a Partner in Osborne Clarke's non-contentious construction team. He specialises in advising developers, funders and contractors on the construction, operation and maintenance of energy and utilities assets.

Duncan's experience includes drafting and negotiating construction, engineering and maintenance contracts for a wide range of renewables, bioenergy and energy-from-waste projects both in the UK and internationally. He advised on EPC and O&M arrangements for two of the first commercial scale battery storage projects in the UK and has acted on large-scale solar projects in the Middle East and Africa. He also spent time on secondment at an international utilities company, advising on all aspects of their construction needs.

Duncan also works closely with asset management teams to manage ongoing contractual relationships and to optimise and repower assets during the operational phase.

Away from the energy sector, Duncan advises clients in the logistics industry and has particular experience in advising on projects which utilise non-traditional construction methods, such as modular construction.
