The team represents clients across both the extractive industries and renewable energy market. The firm is acknowledged for offering a full 'pit to port' service on large-scale projects, coordinating expertise from across the firm to service everything from transactional matters to related environmental and cultural heritage approvals, health and safety and other regulatory issues and, where necessary, disputes.

Its key clients include Diatreme Resources, Vitrinite and Tri-Star Group.

"The firm has a deep understanding of the factors that lead to a successful resource industry acquisition and therefore can provide not just legal but strategic advice."
