Power generation around the world might be changing in many ways, but some things remain constant - not least, knowing that you have sharp, commercially focused legal advice at your disposal.
Our dedicated energy lawyers can support you with all areas of power generation and distribution: mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, development, financing, operation and maintenance. Whatever stage of the journey you’re on - from exploring a new construction project, right the way up to decommissioning a plant - your business will benefit from strategic legal support that looks at the big picture, as well as the legal small print.
Whether you’re a financial institution, power producer, private equity fund or a generation and transmission cooperative, we have the legal and commercial experience to understand what your needs are going to be. And that goes for a wide range of power generation types too: natural gas-fired, nuclear, co-generation, combined heat and power or renewable. If you’re looking into developing carbon capture and storage methods for your gas power assets, or retrofitting an existing facility, we can help you.
We’re proud to be at the cutting edge of new developments in the world of power generation and transmission, such as the complex legal environment around cross-border interconnector cables. With more than 300 energy lawyers located across the world, we have the industry knowledge and expansive network that will help keep you competitive in today’s global market.
