Clare Keates is an Energy Sector PSL delivering knowledge management and training that supports the Energy group.

Clare is a Principal Associate and Professional Support Lawyer in our Energy sector group and is based in our Cardiff office.  As a PSL for the firm's global energy group, Clare provides legal knowledge, education and training to keep clients and legal teams updated on the latest legal developments for clean energy and sustainability, oil and gas (including hydrogen), and nuclear.

Clare develops resources and materials to support the firm's energy group and works collaboratively with other PSLs on cross-practice group initiatives, such as developing the firm's ESG offering. 

Having joined the firm in 2006, Clare worked on public procurement projects and energy regulatory matters before moving to the professional support team in 2018.  With her experience in drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, Clare also provides internal training on commercial contracts concepts and drafting.

Clare participates in various PSL, knowledge and marketing groups relating to energy and ESG.

Internally, Clare helps to drive the CCPG PSL brand strategy and is a member of the firm's wellbeing and ability network.

Clare's young family means that her spare time is largely taken up driving to and from their various sports clubs and lessons.  She does, however, enjoy reading, music (listening to, playing and singing) and baking.  Clare is also a member of the Salvation Army and leads the junior choir in her church.
