Knowing the law is just the beginning

Energy

Stronachs’ Energy team understands the energy industry and the needs of those involved. Our expertise reaches beyond advising on black letter law and covers key aspects of the industry’s legal and financial landscape, its commercial practices and contracting structures.

Our dedicated team of energy practitioners advises all sizes of company from start-ups to international operators. We understand the business drivers when advising clients in onshore renewables, offshore renewables, energy transition and oil and gas sectors, having worked throughout the whole life cycle of projects. We also have experience advising on complex energy infrastructure projects and our lawyers have a deep understanding of the wider energy supply chain and aligning clients’ legal approach with their operational and commercial aims.

Our senior team has decades of experience advising the energy sector. This means we understand the specific issues facing our clients and the industry, can identify the material risks and can provide the advice you need.

Our team has produced a number of major publications on the energy sector. The three-volume Technical & Legal Guide to Global Hydrocarbons and the Technical and Legal Guide to the UK Oil and Gas Industry are available from Aberlour Press.

Our team has also contributed to the publication of A Guide to New Energies, an introductory guide to the new renewable energy sources and solutions which are of growing importance in moving through the energy transition. It can be viewed and downloaded here.

Please visit our Oil & Gas, Onshore Renewables and Offshore Renewables pages for detail on our capability in those specific areas.
