The growing demand for renewable energy, carbon reduction, government policies, security of supply are some of the issues that make the Energy and Natural Resources industry exciting to work in. Our team’s understanding of the oil, gas, LNG, power and other energy businesses, and the policies and economics that affect each sector enables us provide our clients with truly commercial and balanced legal advice.
