Oil & Gas

Oil and gas exploration and production has been a major contributor to the Scottish and UK economy for more than 40 years.

Continuous evolution in the upstream and midstream sectors requires flexibility and innovation in every discipline to ensure the successful, profitable development of projects on and offshore – from engineering to health and safety, and legal and professional services.

Stronachs’ specialist oil and gas team, one of the leading groups of energy-focussed legal practitioners in the UK, has built a reputation for delivering dynamic, high-value, cost-effective legal services to organisations from operators to niche technology developers throughout the industry from its offices in Aberdeen and London.

We have significant experience in mergers and acquisitions; bank, corporate and private equity funding; and contractual negotiation in the UK, Europe, the Americas, Africa, Middle East and South East Asia.

Our lawyers have both the capability to work with legal and commercial teams at every level of the operator and service company landscape, including operators, finance institutions, investment banks and other professional firms on mergers and acquisition work and operators on projects as part of a team.  We also have the ability to provide advice to companies with no dedicated in-house capability.

We act for a number of oil and gas companies, including Alpha Petroleum, Dana, Eland Oil & Gas, Ophir Energy, Petrofac, Sorgenia International, JX Nippon Oil & Gas and CNR.

We also work with a wide range of companies in the supply chain, including Orion Engineering, Target Energy Group, Global Energy, Cameron DES Operations, Peterson (UK), DOF Subsea, Enpro and Rotech.
