Wherever you are in the world energy and power is a highly-regulated sector, requiring specialist knowledge as well as the corporate finance or commercial skills which are common to many types of transactions and projects.

Within its respected corporate and commercial department Charles Russell has a team of experienced energy lawyers. They have experience of a wide range of energy transactions in the UK and elsewhere in the world. English law is widely used in the energy sector worldwide and our expertise in the sector has been used in a number of other countries. We have experience of representing regulators and state owned enterprises as well as listed and private companies.

The team has acted on many types of energy matters including:

Upstream oil and gas: onshore and offshore licensing, the full range of joint venture agreements, pipelines and transportation
Mergers and acquisitions
Oil and gas field financing
Oil and gas field development projects
Oil and gas sales, and distribution
Offshore construction agreements
Decommissioning of offshore oil and gas installations
Power purchase agreements, power station projects and acquisitions of power stations
Wind power: offshore projects and joint venture agreements, grid connections, development consents
Gas and electricity distribution: licence agreements, supply agreements, dealing with regulatory issues
Regulation: setting up a national regulatory system

The size of the team and the skills required for any particular transaction will depend on the nature of the transaction itself. The energy team can call upon all the expertise and resources of the firm's Corporate and Commercial group to put together an appropriate team for any situation.
