About

Provided by Herbert Smith Freehills

Our Singapore-based team is at the forefront of the industry, delivering comprehensive legal services for international transactions and projects. We are particularly focused on initiatives involving the decarbonisation of the energy and resources sector in Asia. This specialization has led to profound expertise in renewable energy sources, including solar, wind and hydroelectric power, as well as green LNG. Our dedication to integrating ESG considerations ensures that our clients' projects comply with regulatory requirements and make positive contributions to the environment and society. Private capital investors have continued to play an increasingly important role in the funding of energy and resources projects in Asia, as well as in brownfield M&A into energy and resources assets, and this is reflected in our client base. Our approach is to combine expertise in advising private capital investors (such as asset managers, energy and infrastructure funds, sovereign wealth and pension funds) together with our deep understanding of the characteristics, risks and opportunities associated with energy and resources assets in Asia.
