Experience

Energy, Natural Resources, Environment & ESG

Major energy projects depend on legal certainty and careful long-term planning.

How We Help

Electricity & Renewable Energy

Energy infrastructure is built to operate for decades, not years.

We advise on the development, structuring and regulation of electricity generation and renewable-energy projects, from early planning through operation.

Oil, Gas & Natural Resources

Resource projects depend on rights that are clearly established from the outset.

We advise on oil, gas and natural-resource projects, including exploration, extraction rights and the commercial arrangements that support them.

Energy Trading & Commercial Arrangements

Energy markets function on agreements as much as on supply.

We advise on energy trading arrangements, power purchase agreements and the commercial contracts that govern the sale and supply of energy.

Project Development & Environmental Permitting

A project’s timeline is often set by its permits, not its construction.

We advise on project development and environmental permitting, guiding energy and resource projects through the approvals required to proceed.

ESG, Sustainability & Environmental Governance

Sustainability commitments carry legal weight once they are made.

We advise on ESG frameworks, sustainability governance and the environmental obligations that shape how businesses operate responsibly.

Energy Regulation & Sector Compliance

The energy sector operates within rules that are rarely static.

We advise energy businesses on regulatory compliance and the evolving legal requirements affecting their operations.
