Energy
Lead the transition, redefine what’s possible
Navigate change and drive innovation with legal services built for tomorrow’s energy economy.
Pursuing a connection upgrade or a new generation project in the past might have followed a predictable path. Today? The ground continues to shift quickly with evolving technologies, changing capital appetites, and regulatory clarity often trailing far behind innovation. Whether your business is scaling renewables, pursuing advanced metering initiatives, planning and building transmission, or integrating AI into legacy customer operations, there’s pressure to act and little room for error.
In this environment, only those who’ve helped shape the modern energy sector can keep you ahead. Our team has advised on first-of-a-kind solar deployments, landmark grid modernisation projects, vast undersea transmission deployments, and breakthrough geothermal and battery storage (BESS) initiatives around the globe. When leading energy players need to move fast, clear obstacles, and build what’s never been built before, they engage us with confidence.
If it’s never been done, you’re in the right place
Clients turn to us when the stakes are high, the issues are new or complex, and the path forward isn’t clear, whether they’re making groundbreaking developments, entering new markets, or tackling multi-jurisdictional risk. With experience across the entire power system—from generation and transmission to distribution and trade—we help energy innovators overcome roadblocks, manage risk, unlock value, and move ambitious projects forward.
Here's what sets us apart:
Unmatched experience: We’ve advised on some of the largest, most technically demanding energy projects on the planet—across all forms of generation, transmission and distribution. From structuring next-generation developments to designing and regulating interconnection processes and capacity markets, we bring deep experience and insight that only comes from doing the type of work that sets precedent and pushes boundaries.
Regulatory trailblazers: From advanced grid operating solutions and emerging technologies, when innovation outpaces regulation we’re the firm clients call first. Trusted by regulators, policymakers, and industry leaders alike, we’re one of the few teams in the world with the capability and credibility to push pioneering projects through complex, and often undefined, regulatory environments.
Technology-driven: Innovation isn’t just something we support; it’s part of our DNA. The future of energy is inseparable from technology, and we’ve been at the forefront of this intersection. From AI-powered grid optimisation and digital energy trading to nuclear medicine and advanced control systems, we help clients understand how IP, regulatory policy, and commercial risk converge, and use that knowledge to fuel transformation.
Global reach, local precision: With a substantial presence in key energy markets across Canada, Europe, the Middle East and the UK, and trusted resources worldwide, we deliver seamless support across jurisdictions, languages, and regulatory environments. This platform allows us to connect the dots between domestic mandates and global opportunities, helping you manage cross-border risk, align with evolving standards, and move decisively across the value chain.
"Big challenges demand bigger thinking. We help you navigate the grey areas with clear perspective, grounded advice, and a team built for complexity."
