Danielle Bragg - Capital Law

Danielle is an Associate in our Construction team, with a focus on non-contentious construction and energy projects.

Danielle advises on JCT and NEC Contracts as well as other bespoke forms of contract. She works with local authority clients, universities, funders and developers, assisting them with the preparation of full suites of construction documents and development agreements for projects. She also advises private sector clients, contractors and sub-contractors. For several years Danielle has worked closely with some of our lender clients (the Development Bank Wales and Julian Hodge Bank Limited), running the construction due diligence element of their development finance projects.

Danielle has particular experience in the energy sector, having previously worked in-house at Welsh Power Group Limited, an independent developer and asset management business (with 550MW of flexible generation to provide grid stability services). Here, she reviewed operation and maintenance contracts and NEC sub-contracts, negotiated easements with electricity and gas distribution network operators (DNOs and GDNs) and assisted with corporate due diligence and desktop surveys for new development sites.

Danielle has recently been heavily involved in two projects run by the South Wales Industrial Cluster (SWIC), which focused on how to decarbonise heavy industry in South Wales. She was engaged in the formation of the Cluster, negotiating the collaboration agreement between all the parties, and has been key to its success. She also took an active role in the project’s Future Leaders Group and subsequently contributed to the setup of Net Zero Industry Wales (funded by Welsh Government).

I am immensely grateful to David at Capital Law for his exceptional support during my redundancy process.

Terrafend is a fast growing, venture capital backed sustainability company. Consequently, many of our transactions are diverse in nature and have tight execution timetables. In Sarah, we found the ideal legal counsel to guide and support our business growth. She has a strong understanding of corporate finance, great attention to detail and an innovative and pragmatic thought process – imperative for early stage businesses who have to ‘get things done’, without compromise and to the highest possible professional standards.

I can’t recommend Capital Law enough if you are selling equity in your business. The team led by Gareth Williams-Davies were thoroughly professional and were able to offer a commercially balanced view on all aspects of the transaction. The breadth of skills within Capital Law allowed Gareth to bring in specialist colleagues when required and I could not have been represented better. Gareth’s calm and experienced tone was a great advantage during some of the trickier negotiations and he was a significant factor in completing the transaction.
