Transactions in the energy sector are often complex, given the highly regulated sector. Whether you are handling the necessary permitting requirements, dealing with the financing aspects, or busy with questions related to the investing and structuring of the project, there will be pitfalls along the road.
To respond to these drawbacks and challenges, you will find that there are several mechanisms and processes which can help you overcome barriers and complete your project successfully.
Together with industry specialists, our legal transactional energy practice experts will form a panel to discuss transactions in the energy sector and how to overcome legal issues and turn them into solutions. They will examine closely a selection of practical examples and will provide you with some significant insights on upcoming trends.
