Our Service Offerings
Advanced Environmental & Regulatory Compliance
Modern mining and energy projects require far more than traditional legal guidance—they demand a precise understanding of technical frameworks, such as Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) and compliance with international laws like the 1982 UNCLOS. Our experts analyze each project’s technical data, evaluate environmental and geotechnical reports, and advise on the integration of advanced extraction technologies while meeting rigorous local and international environmental standards. This meticulous approach ensures that every project is engineered for sustainability and resilience.
Project Finance & Infrastructure Development
The financial structuring of large-scale mining and energy projects involves detailed technical analyses and innovative contract models. Our Mining, Oil and Energy Law Practice boasts of a vast team which is experienced in drafting and negotiating complex Production Sharing Contracts (PSC), joint ventures, and project finance arrangements. We support clients with due diligence that encompasses both technical evaluations—such as geological surveys and risk assessments—and sophisticated financial models, ensuring that investments are structured to mitigate market volatility and maximize returns.
Mergers, Acquisitions & Strategic Joint Ventures
Energy and resource companies frequently require legal guidance that bridges technical innovation with market strategies. Whether advising on mergers and acquisitions or structuring strategic joint ventures, we incorporate technical considerations—from the latest extraction methodologies to evolving environmental technologies—into our legal analysis. This ensures that corporate transactions are robust, sustainable, and in full compliance with industry standards and regulatory frameworks.
Renewable Energy & the Energy Transition
The global shift toward a low-carbon economy is fundamentally reshaping the mining and energy landscape. We offer specialized counsel on projects involving renewable energy assets—such as wind, solar, and energy storage—linking them to traditional resource extraction processes. Our legal strategies integrate critical elements such as carbon credit frameworks, ESG compliance, and the secure procurement of critical minerals necessary for clean technology. In doing so, we assist clients in leveraging the energy transition, balancing innovation with regulatory precision.
Dispute Resolution & International Arbitration
Disputes in the mining and energy sectors often involve highly technical issues—from contractual ambiguities in service agreements to disagreements over technical specifications in project development. Our experienced litigators and arbitrators are well-versed in the technical underpinnings of these disputes. By combining clear legal strategy with an in-depth understanding of industry-specific challenges, we ensure that disputes are managed efficiently, with decisions backed by both legal precedent and technical expertise.
