Energy has been a really important sector in the firm over decades. Out of some 2,700 lawyers, around 750 now work on energy deals, projects and disputes, either all of the time or the majority of their time. Our Energy sector team acts for many of the world’s leading energy companies with their first-of-kind and biggest projects.
The team works with infrastructure funds, banks, traders, private capital and other debt and equity investors and entrepreneurs on delivering commercially viable projects. The Energy group also supports emerging ventures in renewables, battery storage, battery charging, electric vehicles, energy-from-waste, hydrogen, carbon capture, data and alternative technologies.
The group has global coverage, building strong relationships with core clients. Collaboration between lawyers is central to the firm’s approach, acting as a true differentiator from other law firms with similar practices.
