The practice benefits from notable planning and energy regulatory practices, with the additional proven capacity to handle complex environment and life sciences regulatory topics. The firm receives a significant volume of praise for its handling of contentious public law matters, including administrative appeals against the award of high-value public contracts and disputes arising from the breach of infrastructure construction contracts and regulations. The firm also handles a steady stream of non-contentious mandates relating to public procurement or the acquisition of energy projects. Clients include oil and gas, pharmaceutical and hospitality companies.
