Oil & gas
Our extensive oil and gas industry experience has earned our team a formidable reputation in the sector. Our lawyers have significant in-house experience working with and for major oil and gas operators and service companies, in the UK and overseas.
That experience gives us a deep understanding of our clients’ commercial imperatives and the drivers and risks within the oil and gas sector. Our oil and gas lawyers advise on all aspects of offshore and onshore activity, both in the UK and internationally, and our ability to provide expert advice to both upstream and service sector clients sets us apart from our competitors.
Renewables
Our dedicated renewables practice consists of industry expert lawyers advising developers, generators, off-takers, investors, lenders and landowners across the UK on all aspects of the energy transition and projects in the renewable and low carbon sector.
Our team advises on the entire lifecycle of energy projects. We advise on developing projects, including obtaining land and resource rights, as well as project consents. We represent clients on building, operating and financing projects as well as refinancing and the sale and purchase of projects. Most of all we have all the skills – from crofting and rural land law to specialist PPA and financing expertise – to deliver any project in the sector.
