Charlotte qualified into the Utilities Team in September 2020 after completing her two year training contact at Birketts.
Using the skills and knowledge Charlotte obtained during her training, she now completes a high volume of transfers, deeds of easement and leases for statutory undertakers within the electric, gas, fibre and water industries. Most of the transactions relate to easements for new pipes, wires and cables and the substations, governors, cabinets and pumping stations they run to and from. Charlotte does assist clients with the maintenance, repair and renewing of existing utilities infrastructure too. Charlotte also advises clients on the practical and commercial aspects of the transactions and collaborates with DNO’s, IDNO’s, ICP’s and third parties to ensure our clients obtain the land rights they require for their connections.
Over the last few years, Charlotte has developed her understanding of the utilities industry, including the legislation and regulations statutory undertakers have to comply with. Attending external and internal training courses, utilities events such as ‘Utility Week Live’ and the ‘EV show’ and client offices to assist clients first hand with any queries, have also added to Charlotte’s expertise.
