Our Energy and Natural Resources team work on energy projects ranging from renewable energy projects to oil and gas ventures, as well as other natural resources projects in sectors such as water, mining and geothermal. The team also works on blue-chip infrastructure, housing, transport, ports, utilities and telecommunications development.
We bring together highly experienced partners and energetic thinkers to help clients manage their procurement, development, planning, environmental, commercial and contracting issues. Our group is particularly known for our ability to navigate complex issues, our broad, cross-sectoral industry knowledge, and combining specialist legal expertise with a pragmatic, business-focused commercial approach. We have a deep understanding of the broader context and drivers of projects and pride ourselves on working collaboratively with clients and their teams and external consultants to achieve strategic objectives.
We also act for some of New Zealand's most prominent developers. Our team covers the range of disciplines to get a project approved, planned, consented (including for overseas investment in land and assets in New Zealand), financed, funded, built, commissioned and operating.
We advise a wide variety of clients on regulatory and legislative reform, including on the upcoming repeal and replacement of the Resource Management Act 1991 and also assist clients with the opportunities afforded by the COVID-19 Recovery Act 2020.
