Services
The legal services we provide are intended to assist the management of legal issues for the energy sector, or those needing to understand the legislative or commercial framework for energy services in Australia.
In recognising the challenges and opportunities for energy businesses into the future, a significant investment of our time is placed in understanding policy and industry development. This helps us to advise on or manage legal issues today, but with an understanding of the likely future environment.
Increasingly, we are helping clients as they deal with issues in our core areas of service – new energy projects; carbon schemes and strategy; and energy contracts. For many clients, these areas are now pivotal in achieving strategic opportunities, saving costs, and reducing liability exposures to a carbon price. Often, they are also a key component in their objective for a greener business.
Our legal services broadly cover the following areas:
- Specialist energy advice
- Carbon and renewable or green energy issues
- Managing external legal services for major projects / consultant lawyer on project teams
- Negotiation strategy
- Contract analysis and advice
- Legislative and regulatory advice
- Legal risk management
- Liability analysis (including environmental liability, insurance)
- Relationships / interaction with government
- Dispute resolution – advice and management
- Governance advice
Energy Legal recognises that complex projects require input from a variety of professionals. Sometimes that may entail obtaining input from other lawyers with specialties not provided by our Company. Not only do we encourage this, we can assist in identifying appropriately skilled professionals (including those providing legal services).
