Energy, Utilities, Resources

Immersion in the commercial and policy dynamics shaping the energy sector is fundamental to our practice. We understand the contractual and regulatory environment for energy businesses in the UK, which underpins our ability to help clients navigate equivalent environments in other jurisdictions globally.

Our experience of advising on energy transactions, projects and trading is mutually complimentary both in terms of sector insight and legal discipline.

Transactions: we advise on corporate and asset transaction structuring, conduct legal due diligence, manage regulatory approvals and draft and negotiate transaction agreements.

Projects: we draft and negotiate the contractual building blocks of energy projects as well as advising on the regulatory frameworks applicable to them, including:

Trading: we advise on both commercial contracting (both physical and non-physical) and regulatory compliance (both market and financial) for wholesale energy and commodity trading activities (both bilateral and exchange-based).

Our energy team is able to draw on expertise from real estate, regulatory, intellectual property, employment and data privacy specialists in our wider legal team as appropriate.

Our legal advice is often embedded with input from our wider energy sector group, adding tax, accounting, operational and strategy perspectives.

We are committed to leading the implementation of technical tools in the delivery of legal advice to drive insight, accuracy, efficiency and ongoing learning for both our clients and our own team.
