The 35-strong team has an average of more than 15 years’ experience, with deep-rooted presence in all parts of the sector, including oil and gas, renewable energy, conventional generation, nuclear new build, and new technologies, including CCUS and hydrogen. This team is supported by around 100 associates in London and forms part of a 700-strong global team across our 24 office global network.  

• We are recognized as the "go-to-firm" for energy M&A work, advising on some of the largest transactions in the market. We have a strong track record in coordinating multi-jurisdictional transactions.
• Our financing practice is one of the strongest in the market, particularly in upstream finance (including reserve based lending and prepayment facilities) and in complex upstream and midstream project finance. We are also at the centre of designing new market structures and lead the market on newer technologies, such as battery storage (BESS). 
• We are the only top-tier firm to have a dedicated contentious energy team which combines an unparalleled knowledge of the range of dispute resolution techniques used by the industry, with a real understanding of the complexities that can arise in all types of projects. 
• Many of our specialists across tax, real estate, planning and employment are also dedicated to the sector, meaning that the support we can offer to our clients is truly full-service.
