Energy drives the growth and development which is transforming Africa, and we are proud to be at the coalface of the dynamic energy space on the continent.

Our dedicated and highly regarded projects and energy team is able to offer you the full scope of legal advisory and transactional support services, including all regulatory, financing and transactional aspects of coal, electricity, solar, hydro, liquefied natural gas, nuclear, oil and gas, and renewables.

We can help you to navigate regulatory hurdles, identify and manage risks, and maximise your investment and commercial opportunities, in a world facing the challenges of limited resources and climate change.

Our key differentiator is our extensive experience in highly complex cross-border energy projects, spanning a host of areas and all development stages. We have established a strong track record in industry-related transactions, acting for market leaders across the energy value chain throughout Africa.
