Oil & Gas

Oil & Gas - Sector

An industry in transition

Oil and gas companies in the UK and beyond are at a crossroads. The demand for green energy is increasing, but many parts of the world remain heavily reliant on hydrocarbons, and will for some time to come. This can make it tricky to figure out the best direction to take. That's without the day-to-day issues of oil and gas contract law and licenses.

Our oil and gas lawyers won't just sort out your everyday legal needs. They'll help you understand regulation changes and how they affect the road you take. From small exploration companies to multi-national corporations, we can give you practical advice to make the best of your next step.

We'll help you shift, not slow down

The green transition, digital technologies and emerging energies are shifting the focus of the whole oil and gas industry. That doesn't mean your work must stop. Putting net zero goals, low carbon technologies or emissions capture plans in place are some ways to keep up progress in the new market.

We're not afraid to face up to these changes, and neither should you be. With our industry know-how and connections, we can back you up as you take advantage of the big shifts.

Global pipelines? No problem

Financing, M&A, operations, sales and portfolios are spread widely. Our international oil and gas law firm can back you up, wherever you (or your subsidiaries) are. Africa, North America, South America, Europe and Asia – we have experience from them all under our belt.
