Energy and Resources

As the only top-tier energy & resources law practice in Australia with offices in Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and Darwin, we offer our clients truly national strength and specialised advice where and when they need it - across all aspects of energy and mining, including coal, oil and gas, LNG, electricity generation and distribution, renewable energy, uranium and all other base metals extracted in Australia.

Our core energy and resources lawyers, made up of 20 Partners and over 80 other legal employees, have deep industry experience built at the corporate, project and operational level, from our involvement in major energy and mining projects and M&A transactions in Australia, and across the Asia-Pacific region and Africa, with clients based here and overseas.

Through our involvement in many of Australia's most significant energy & resources and infrastructure transactions, we have developed a comprehensive understanding of the key legal and commercial issues facing industry participants and the means to help them manage these.
