BROWSE NEWS & INSIGHTSOur personal approach, technical expertise, local knowledge and global network enable us to deliver an experience that other professional service providers find hard to match.
BROWSE ABOUT USWe operate in the power industry advising on the development, financing, operation, acquisition and privatisation of independent power projects (IPPs) worldwide. We provide a full legal offering across flexible, conventional (including coal and natural gas) and nuclear power. We collaborate with our clients on legal advice concerning regulatory, environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, market conditions and the evolving flexible and conventional energy technologies.
The breadth of experience in flexible and conventional power means we are able to run multiple large transactions simultaneously without compromising the level of service.
We are at the forefront in advising clients on their transition to a low carbon global economy. The demand for coal, gas and nuclear power plants has decreased in recent years and finding new ways of generating electricity is on the rise. For example, through the electrification of heat, the use of electric vehicles and the transformation of generating electricity from fossil fuels to renewables. Flexible power networks and peaker plants are needed to meet the change in supply and demand of power networks worldwide.
Our expertise covers power purchase agreements, fuel supply arrangements and all the associated construction and operation sub-contracts, commercial bank financings, ECA-led and Islamic financings for power generation assets, and transmission and distribution businesses. We act for a diverse range of clients in the energy sector including financial institutions, governments, suppliers, distributors, owners, operators, developers, contractors and investors.
The team are not just technical lawyers but are also good commercial negotiators. They have great attention to detail and have their finger on the pulse of new legal developments. Chambers Energy 2022
