About Tracy

Geographic boundaries do not confine Tracy London’s practice. For more than 24 years, Tracy has served as a non-contentious construction lawyer in the oil and gas, power, infrastructure and mining industries, working on projects in the United Kingdom, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, United States and Australia.

She focuses on preparing and negotiating front-end engineering and design (FEED) contracts; engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts, as well as engineering, procurement and installation (EPCI) contracts and engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) contracts; operation and maintenance (O&M) contracts; and other construction-related documentation.

Chambers UK 2020 editorial notes that “Tracy London has established a reputation as ‘an impressive lawyer with a great knowledge of the construction aspects of project financing transactions.’” She routinely advises on energy projects, both at home and abroad, and is especially adept at handling matters relating to the construction and operation of wind farms (both onshore and offshore) as well as other renewable power projects. Tracy is also recognized in The Legal 500 United Kingdom as a “wind turbine expert.”

Tracy is considered by some to be the best construction and O&M lawyer in the market.
