Energy & Natural Resources (Bar) | Global

Quadrant Chambers is a leading shipping set with a strong energy offering. Barristers at Quadrant are routinely engaged by upstream and downstream oil and gas clients in significant disputes. Unparalleled experience in marine, rig and transport engineering also informs the set's growing energy practice. Barristers from the chambers acted for the UAE oil and gas company, Der Mond, and its parent company, Locafrique, in their defence of a claim by the Russian oil company, LITASCO, filed in the High Court. The claim concerned the failure by Der Mond to pay for cargoes of oil following imposition of sanctions on Russia. One source notes: "All barristers we've worked with have excellent knowledge of the industry and underlying drivers."

Twenty Essex has a group of highly esteemed litigators and arbitrators with a notable energy focus. Members are equipped to handle the full range of oil and gas and mining-related matters, including upstream, midstream and downstream work, construction disputes and corporate issues. The barristers here are frequently active in high-profile international disputes, including those in the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. The set has acted for Glencore Energy this year in a dispute related to allegations of contaminated crude oil.
