Power

From conventional power to low carbon and renewables, our knowledge in the key segments of the energy sector brings commercial legal expertise to our clients. The power sector is developing and changing rapidly. The demand for cleaner and carbon free energy is disrupting traditional markets, ways of doing business and introducing significant risk and commercial challenges to operators, investors, and regulators. In times of change and increased commercial pressure commercial expert legal expertise delivered by an International team is crucial.
