Think of us as strategic advisors.
Whether you’re working on an oil and gas or LNG project, acquisition or divestment, arbitration or any aspect of the energy transition, our cross-border team can help you fulfil your business objectives in every territory in which you operate.
Your sector is our sector. We regularly act on the exploration, development and operation of oil and gas assets, negotiation and administration of onshore and offshore supply chain contracts and every aspect of the LNG value chain, including liquefaction, shipment, regasification and LNG sales. We also act for both buyers and sellers on single bidder and auction processes involving upstream, midstream and downstream assets.
We can provide you with strategic advice that is both commercially viable, and compliant with government needs and regulations, because we recruit lawyers who have gained in-house experience. We can also help you negotiate every aspect of the clean energy transition, particularly hydrogen, renewable gas and biofuels, by blending our years of knowledge gained working in oil and gas with our renewable energy and regulatory credentials.
This approach has seen us become a reliable partner for companies across the industry and enabled us to work on some of the most strategic oil and gas projects in the market. We are currently acting on the world’s biggest oil and gas arbitration and recently helped deliver some of the largest upstream concession deals in the Middle East.
Whether you are a national oil company (NOC), international oil company, gas/LNG provider, oil field service company or energy commodity trader, our global team can help you achieve your ambitions.
Our global energy lawyers can help you with all aspects of oil & gas projects. The team have advised:
