The energy and natural resources group at Hogan Lovells works with major energy companies, natural resource developers, financial institutions, investment funds, and governments and their agencies.
Whether you have a complex transaction, an energy project to finance, natural resource to develop, regulation to navigate, a contentious dispute to resolve, or intellectual property to protect or manage, we will work as part of your team to solve your toughest legal issues. We understand that markets, technology, and regulation are major business drivers in the energy and natural resources sector.
Our network of energy lawyers spans Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, and North and South America. We think and act both locally and globally. We use our knowledge of local markets and our familiarity with international best practices to bring you practical solutions that can be implemented wherever your business takes you.
Our award-winning oil and gas team works in all sectors of the industry, including upstream exploration and production; oil and natural gas pipelines (both domestic and cross border); liquefied natural gas (LNG), gasification, gas storage, trading, and distribution; and crude oil refining and trading.
We’re an ally to major power and utility companies and other stakeholders in the electricity space, including financial institutions, lenders, and investment funds. We work with clients like you in the conventional, renewable, and nuclear sectors on all aspects of their business.
Our full-service mining and resources team advises clients in all key regions, both in terms of operations and outbound investment. We bring clients innovative solutions related to mineral development, water projects, clean water, and natural resources sales and trading.
