The energy and infrastructure sector is currently facing unprecedented challenges both domestically and globally. The energy trilemma - affordability, security, and sustainability - has become critically important, demanding simultaneous attention. Despite these challenges, our energy lawyers have been actively involved in some of the most significant transactions in the energy market, supporting a diverse range of clients.
The rapid evolution of the energy sector
The pace of change within the energy and infrastructure sector has been dizzying. Global issues such as decarbonisation, innovation, protectionism, and resource scarcity have prompted numerous UK law and policy initiatives, which continue to evolve rapidly. These global pressures are having a profound impact at both national and regional levels.
Overcoming global and economic challenges
Despite ongoing challenges like the Covid-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, rising energy costs, inflation, geopolitical tensions, and climate change effects, there's significant momentum around the energy transition. This presents a real need for rapid development, innovation, and opportunities.
Investment in clean technology and renewable energy
The urgent need for investment in clean technology, renewable energy, and associated infrastructure continues to grow. While liquidity in the infrastructure market remains strong, challenges in the sphere of lesser-matured clean and infra technology must be addressed to further the net zero agenda.
Societal and environmental impact are at the forefront of our business agenda. We are proud to support transactions that advance these causes, underpinned by our firmwide commitment to sustainable energy and net zero. Our work in the energy and infrastructure sector is an extension of our values.
