With a strong background advising clients across complex rural transactions and renewable energy projects, Nick’s leadership in Brisbane will further Fox and Thomas Business Lawyers’ mission to deliver specialist legal services that respond to the unique challenges and opportunities faced by rural and regional clients across Australia.
“Many of our clients are being approached by renewable energy developers proposing large-scale wind, solar and battery projects,” Director Michael Cowley said.

“Nick’s background in agribusiness, combined with his understanding of the risks and complexities involved in renewable energy projects, means we can offer expert advice to clients in the new and fast-moving sector,” he said.
Nick said the firm could see the market trends and could offer clients practical and commercially focussed advice to protect their interests.
“While renewable projects offer potential income and diversification for landowners, there are some significant legal considerations – particularly around biosecurity, decommissioning obligations and indeed what happens if a project fails,” he said.
