Energy and Natural Resources As well as being home to an abundance of natural resources, including oil and gas, cobalt and precious stones, Africa is set to be at the forefront of renewable energy generation globally. As key African countries continue to liberalise their economies, major international players (including governments) are funding numerous projects throughout the continent.
Combining multi-disciplinary expertise across a number of areas, our energy specialists have been providing international and local legal support on a wide variety of energy generation in all regions of Africa for over 20 years, regardless of where our clients or their projects are based. We advise on all aspects of major power projects across generation, transmission and distribution, throughout the entire lifecycle – from planning, financing, procurement, design, construction, operation and maintenance through to post-completion disputes. We understand the pressures and challenges that developing complex projects entails, and we leverage our industry knowledge and technical expertise accordingly.
