Fleur Clegg
Global Head – PENRI Knowledge
Fleur specialises in energy and infrastructure projects, with over 25 years’ experience particularly in the PPP market.
Her previous firm experience includes advising private and public sector clients in the UK and globally across a range of PPP and related sectors (including defence, health, schools, roads, rail and power) on both the financing and commercial side. Fleur’s role includes anticipating and analysing the impact of commercial, financing and legislative developments across the market and relevant practice areas, particularly in relation to energy transition. She contributes regularly to industry and government consultations and has frequently advised governmental and multilateral bodies on drafting and familiarising detailed PPP guidance publications to promote global understanding amongst parties of varying experience and market maturity to facilitate efficient frameworks and procurements. Fleur has significant insight into different client needs and corporate drivers through previous firm experience on secondment to the UK Government and establishing the legal arm of a PPP developer’s investment business.
