Energy Disputes
Energy is a fast-evolving sector and with climate change top of the agenda, it’s centre stage for many organisations.
More than that though, energy effects everyone, and recent global issues have helped to highlight the risks energy suppliers are facing and how this can negatively impact businesses.
We can help you navigate the risks and opportunities that are part and parcel of today’s energy landscape.
How we can help
Our clients come to us for help when things go wrong, and we help them minimise the impact when we can’t avoid a problem altogether. This is important for clients working with new and pioneering technology, especially when it comes to renewables. With decarbonisation critical to the future of our energy clients, we think you’ll agree it’s important to be prepared.
We help untangle supply chain disputes – which are an increasing problem since the cost of raw materials and supply chain delays have been caused by turbulent global events. These challenging times have made moving feedstocks across jurisdictions difficult and we advise clients on the best way forward as well as issues of force majeure and frustration.
In the event that long term contracts are no longer suitable or profitable, we help our clients to negotiate an early exit or simply exercise their contractual rights.
Our clients
We work with business-to-business energy suppliers, as well as renewable energy companies, independent power producers, large corporates with decentralised generating capabilities and innovative businesses with emerging technology.
