Our specialist lawyers provide vigorous advice on all aspects of the energy and supply sector.
Our lawyers have specialist expertise in every major energy segment – including oil, gas, LNG, biofuels and renewables – and are championed for their commercial acumen and strategic thinking.
The energy sector is subject to a complex regulatory framework and any company operating in the sector must know its way around the legislation and guard against potential infringements.
Having worked with scores of international oil and gas providers, as well as state-owned distributors in Serbia and the government itself, our energy and projects lawyers know the issues inside out. Through direct experience, we have developed a range of practical and innovative legal solutions to protect and advance our clients’ interests.
