The energy landscape is changing fast. Managing the shift from traditional energy to renewables, and navigating the ever-evolving legislative environment and growing competition demands knowledge and expertise. With more than five decades of experience, we are the trusted guide to clients across the UK, the Middle East, and beyond.
Broad in experience, we work across the energy sector in the UK and internationally. In the UK we advise some of the largest and most innovative developers, helping them to successfully provide district heating networks, ESCO concessions and utility connections. Further afield, we have deep expertise and a long track record in the Middle East, where our work is already taking an important shift to solar energy and energy efficiency.
We advise on everything from nuclear projects and large-scale thermal power projects through to district heat networks, renewables, energy efficiency and utility connections. Practical and hands-on, we have an intrinsic understanding of all aspects of energy projects - from initial strategy and risks management, to procurement and tendering, management of funder requirements and the construction and operational phases. This, coupled with our extensive experience advising on the full range of enabling documents (including consortium arrangements, shareholder agreements, project agreements, concessions, financing documents and EPC and O&M contracts) gives our clients a clear commercial advantage.
Our work in the oil & gas sectors covers both up, down and mid stream projects and takes in advising on concessions, production sharing agreements, pipelines and the sale and purchase of energy all the way from extraction to the petrol pump.
We’ve made it our mission to help clients fit in with new regulation, changing markets and rising targets while still delivering quality services and products and remaining profitable. Our knowledge of how the energy industry works and how deals are constructed helps to keep clients secure over horizons of several decades. Connected to specialists across our firm and globally, we are fluent in the energy sector from every angle and plugged into key systems, governments and authorities world-wide.

Obtaining utility connections remains an important factor for any development, with significant risk of delay to the wider programme. We advise on all aspects of utility connections and supply arrangements for new-build developments - providing properly joined-up advice on energy contracts, property law and construction issues throughout the process.
Connections and supplyEnergy efficiency is not just about hitting environmental targets. Initiatives increasingly reflect wider objectives, such as reducing energy costs, mitigating the impact of future energy price rises and helping businesses become more competitive. Our energy team advises on energy efficiency projects across a range of building types, providing input at all key stages – from initial identification of requirements and procurement through to contract negotiations and delivery.
Energy efficiencyDecentralised energy has become a more common feature of developments in the UK and internationally. We advise on district and communal heating projects in the UK market, including long-term concessions, connections to heat networks and outsourced services. We also advise on large-scale district cooling schemes in the Middle East, including residential and industrial cooling arrangements.
Heating and coolingWe act for governments and government-owned entities, developers, lenders, EPC and O&M contractors and service companies. We have the necessary expertise in mining, construction and corporate law required to efficiently deliver successful projects in this sector. We have particular expertise in advising junior mining companies both in relation to listings on AIM and other exchanges and on the associated project agreements.

Our expertise is concentrated in the Middle East where we have over 50 years' experience of assisting our clients with oil and gas projects.
Oil and gasRenewable energy has become a more important part of the energy mix, and its share is likely to increase in the future. Alongside renewable energy, there is an increased focus on energy storage – from the domestic scale right up to grid storage.
Renewables and storageConcern about environmentally sustainable solutions continues to drive the development of waste recycling and treatment infrastructure. Our Waste to Energy team acts for UK and international authorities and private sector contractors, bid sponsors and funders on a range of waste treatment infrastructure projects – delivering solutions to these challenges.
Waste to energyWe advise on a wide range of water projects with a particular expertise in the Middle East. Our experience includes desalination projects (both standalone and associated with power plants), wastewater projects, sewerage and water pipelines. We act for private sector developers, government entities and consultants active in the sector – providing specialist expertise in areas including environmental law, corporate law and finance.
WaterWe advise on a wide range of power generation projects across all scales and technologies, including conventional thermal power stations, nuclear plants, waste to energy, wind and solar projects. We have developed small pathfinder projects and multi-billion dollar projects.
