Energy & Resources
These are the sectors fuelling Australia’s growth, especially in the commodity boom being driven by buoyant world trade and the rapid industrialisation of China and India. Keeping ahead requires a combination of first-rate legal knowledge and business acumen.
The in-depth industry knowledge we have acquired makes us uniquely positioned to add value to our clients’ businesses by providing pragmatic, industry-focused advice.
Our Energy & Resources team is able to assist in all commercial and litigious aspects of these industries including mining projects, regulatory issues, capital raisings, mergers and acquisitions, supply and distribution contracts, liability issues, joint ventures, transportation agreements and service station leasing, divestment and franchising.
Harnessing Australia’s vast mineral and energy resources is a complex capital-intensive business that raises unique challenges around project structuring, finance, native title, environment and cultural heritage law, land tenure and industrial relations. We understand the junctures between business and these constantly shifting areas of law.
In energy, clients can rely on us for insight based on extensive experience of regulation and competition policy, corporatisation and privatisation. We know the challenges and opportunities that arise in generation, transmission, distribution and supply and we provide targeted advice to government and industry.
