Energy & Natural Resources

Dedicated advice across energy and natural resources

Our energy & natural resources lawyers support the development of the global energy supply chain by helping clients across the full life cycle of projects, from planning and funding (including PPP/PFI), developing and operating to refinancing and sale.

Our team applies a truly global perspective, advising on significant infrastructure projects in both developed and emerging markets, to our sector expertise in oil, gas, power, renewables, mining and natural resources.  We advise a range of industry participants, including energy investors, sponsors, developers, contractors, operators, suppliers and insurers to complete our wholesale understanding of the market. Our infrastructure lawyers can leverage this knowledge for the benefit of our clients.

Demographic shifts and unprecedented demand for energy and natural resources brings both familiar and unprecedented challenges to infrastructure participants. The sector is characterised by uncertainty and complexity, which is why we partner with our clients to successfully deliver projects, mitigate risk and navigate disputes, enabling them to do business across the globe.
