Having worked in Asia, the Middle East and Australia acting for sponsors, governments, lenders, contractors and suppliers, Bree understands the drivers and constraints of all parties on major infrastructure projects.

On a pro bono basis, Bree leads a work stream for the Solar Energy Standardisation Initiative (SESI) spearheaded by the Terrawatt Initiative and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). As part of a multi-law firm and industry team, Bree is working with TWI and IRENA to develop a standardized suite of documents to de-risk and decrease project and transaction costs to accelerate the development of solar PV projects globally.
