Mining and Resources
Mining companies face a range of challenges. Health, safety, and environmental issues. Complex regulatory due diligence. Cybersecurity risks. Weakened commodity prices. At Hogan Lovells, we work with mining clients in all aspects of the industry. Our global footprint allows us to advise in key jurisdictions for mining operations and outbound investment.
Supported by innovative solutions for corporate transactions, finance (including streaming transactions), securities, mine development, concessions, dispute resolution, intellectual property, and cyber risk, we anticipate issues before they become problems. Our clients include both privately and publicly traded mining companies engaged in mineral development. This includes the gold, copper, coal, silver, nickel, diamond, molybdenum, uranium, and platinum industries across the globe.
Mining Sales and Trading
Hogan Lovells collaborates with financial institutions, producers, and traders to guide their natural resource sales and trading.

We can help you implement your hedging strategy, set up your trading function, or design a nuanced financing arrangement while navigating local and international regulations.
We move quickly to keep you at the forefront of global markets. By leveraging our global network, combined with local knowledge in existing and emerging markets, we help your business wherever it may go.
