Energy & Infrastructure

Energy and infrastructure businesses bring together technology, capital, physical assets, and long-term commercial commitments. We advise developers, technology providers, investors, and businesses on the legal and strategic considerations involved in financing, developing, acquiring, and commercializing energy technologies and infrastructure assets. Our work considers both the immediate requirements of a transaction and the longer-term conditions affecting its viability.

Our team’s scientific and technical backgrounds help us understand emerging technologies and their relationship to intellectual property, market demand, and project economics. We support clients working in areas such as renewable energy, hydrogen technologies, energy storage, power systems, and infrastructure serving data centres and other energy-intensive operations. We help clients assess opportunities through corporate and investment structuring, due diligence, financing, joint ventures, licensing, and commercial agreements.

The sector is particularly sensitive to changes in government policy and international relations. Energy security priorities, foreign investment screening, trade measures, incentives, and restrictions on technology or equipment transfers can alter project costs, financing options, and market access. Different jurisdictions may pursue competing priorities, and policy changes can affect cross-border investments and supply chains with little advance notice. We help clients track relevant developments, understand their practical implications, and adapt their investment and business strategies.

Our experience includes advising investors on due diligence and financing considerations for emerging energy technologies, bringing legal analysis together with an assessment of business plans and commercialization assumptions. Working with engineering, environmental, financial, tax, and other specialist advisors, we help clients address risks, preserve flexibility, and pursue workable outcomes throughout development and investment.
