About

Our highly specialised Energy & Infrastructure team works across the energy lifecycle on some of the world’s largest and “first of a kind” transactions and projects. Our professionals regularly provide highly-qualified legal advice to both domestic and international clients in connection with their acquisitions and throughout all the stages of their energy and infrastructure projects, as well as an in-depth knowledge of public law and regulatory.
Our sector expertise is rooted in a deep understanding of the complexities and implications of global trends the sector is facing and staying close to the origination is one of our distinguishing features.
Agility and exponential innovation are key for this sector and the need to rethink strategy, optimise efficiencies across the value chain and strengthen balance sheets is gathering pace as complex regulatory environments, geopolitical risk, disputes and market disruption increase. The market is also under the spotlight of the financial authorities, with the introduction of new and restrictive regulations, which previously did not apply to the energy and infrastructure market.
The team advises infrastructure funds, utilities, oil majors, traders, financial institutions, developers and contractors in the renewables, energy technologies, power, natural gas, LNG, oil and petrochemical industries across the challenges of the energy transition era.
