People passionate about decarbonisation and the energy transformation. We're here to help. Happy to chat informally about legal structures, common issues etc

In Australia, we have extensive experience in the energy and resources, decarbonisation, regulatory and climate change fields. The team is passionate about the new energy transition, having guided clients through (what was) the world's largest hybrid power system for a remote mine site, Australia's first co-located wind and solar farm, novel virtual battery power solutions, peer-to-peer energy trials and electric vehicle infrastructure issues. We regularly act for utilities, offtakers, power project developers and large energy users. We have a detailed understanding of the Western Australian electricity market having acted for the state owned electricity generator and retailer on numerous matters. Our resources experience includes strategic alliances, joint ventures, shareholders agreements, off market transactions, offtake agreements, mine procurement and tendering. In the climate change space we have acted as lead advisers to the New Zealand Government on the implementation of the emissions trading scheme, and later for large energy users and sellers on the introduction and then removal of the Australian Carbon Pricing Scheme.
