Ebony Reckless

I am a Projects associate working across the Energy & Utilities and Defence & Aviation groups in Sydney, where I advise clients on the full spectrum of their major projects.

I specialise in advising clients across the Energy and Utilities and the Defence and Aviation sectors. My expertise lies in navigating complex commercial and regulatory challenges, particularly in renewable energy, infrastructure, and international markets. I help clients achieve outcomes that are strategically aligned and commercially practical.

Prior to joining Bird & Bird, I was corporate counsel at a prominent Japanese trading house, working directly with energy subsidiaries. This role gave me hands-on experience in international energy markets, regulatory compliance, and commercial structuring, which I now bring to every client engagement.

I believe effective client relationships are built on clear communication, responsiveness, and a genuine understanding of your business goals. I work collaboratively, often bridging different disciplines and stakeholders to deliver solutions that work in the real world.

I am passionate about solving complex problems and helping clients succeed in fast-evolving industries. I enjoy the challenge of crafting innovative legal strategies that support both growth and compliance. My goal is to be a trusted partner you can rely on to navigate uncertainty and seize opportunities.
