Energy is one of the firm's key sectors and we have one of the largest dedicated energy teams of any international law firm. They are widely recognised as one of the leading providers of legal services to the energy industry, covering the entire value chain internationally. As the world moves from a high carbon to a high metals environment, there will be increasing demand for lawyers who can bridge the mining, wider extractives (including oil & gas) and energy fields.

The team leads on some of the most important international transactional and advisory matters in the EMEA region and works closely with M&A and disputes teams on multidisciplinary mandates where an "energy" skill-set is a leading strategic driver.
