Herbert Smith has developed an outstanding reputation within the energy and natural resources sectors worldwide. Our reputation in the energy field is built on our long experience of advising companies, governments and financiers all over the world. Our energy team has excellent industry knowledge, in many cases arising from secondments to, or having worked in, energy companies. The result is a team with a rare breadth of expertise which is able to execute large corporate deals as well as advise on sector-specific issues.
Our market leading practice regularly advises on domestic and international projects across all areas of the energy industry, covering upstream project development, pipelines, LNG projects and trading, refineries, petrochemicals, power projects, nuclear and renewables. We are involved at the cutting edge of emerging energy initiatives such as CDM in China, carbon capture and storage and biofuels.
Our practice is truly global and we have worked on transactions in locations across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Indian sub-continent, the former Soviet Union and Asia.
Our expertise is further strengthened by our close ties with our alliance partner firms, Gleiss Lutz and Stibbe.
