We act for oil majors, pipeline operators, commodity traders, upstream and midstream companies, renewables developers, banks, and funds.
Clients turn to us for certainty, continuity of supply, regulatory clearance, and recovery of losses – often under intense time pressure and public scrutiny. We help them navigate force majeure events, pricing and offtake disagreements, joint venture breakdowns, pipeline access and integrity issues, and class actions. From emergency relief to final award or settlement, we align strategy with commercial realities to protect business interests.
Our team handles the full spectrum of energy-related disputes, from power generation and renewables projects to oil, gas, and pipeline matters. We regularly advise on infrastructure construction and integrity claims, capacity and interconnection disputes, take-or-pay and pricing controversies, royalty and joint operating disagreements, and energy-sector class actions. Our lawyers combine formidable courtroom advocacy with deep regulatory insight, leveraging longstanding relationships with energy, natural gas, and pipeline regulators to resolve bottlenecks, compliance investigations, and other complex challenges affecting the entire energy value chain.
Our international arbitration team is equally accomplished, acting before the LCIA, ICC, SCMA, UNCITRAL, and other leading institutions on commodity trading, LNG and LPG sales, long-term supply, and infrastructure joint venture disputes. We have led London- and Asia-seated arbitrations stemming from warehousing frauds exceeding $300 million, defended force majeure claims for oil majors, and prevailed in precedent-setting grain and soft commodities cases. Our network across the United States, the UK, EME, and Asia enables us to deliver seamless representation on truly cross-border mandates.
Clients value our ability to synthesize complex technical, market, and legal issues quickly, deliver decisive early case assessments, and drive efficient, outcome-focused strategies. Whether the issue is price review, quality disputes, logistics interruptions, or joint-venture governance, we keep the commercial objective front and center – and move fast when reputations and supply chains are on the line.
