Energy projects involve long lead times, complex regulatory approvals, and agreements that run for decades. A poorly negotiated Fuel Supply Agreement or Power Purchase Agreement creates obligations that are very difficult to unwind once operations are underway. Legal input needs to happen at the structuring stage, not after contracts are signed.
We advise on the legal dimensions of energy and mining projects from inception through to operational phases. Our work covers regulatory approvals, the negotiation and drafting of key project agreements, compliance with environmental and industrial standards, and the ongoing maintenance of licences and regulatory obligations.
