reality matters.
Energy transactions involve undertakings with long operating lives and multiple counterparties. We consider licences and permissions, land and infrastructure access, power and supply agreements, financing, construction responsibilities, government procurement and the consequences of delay or regulatory change. The legal work must reflect how an energy asset is built, paid for, operated and ultimately transferred or terminated.
