Energy & Natural Resource Lawyers

Energy and natural resources experts

We provide legal advice and related legal services to a diverse range of UK and international clients on matters relating to the energy sector, including oil and gas and all forms of renewable (green energy) resources. Our clients include exploration companies, global oil majors and large commodity houses, insurers, reinsurers and P&I clubs. We also advise service sector businesses such as offshore contractors and owners of oil platforms, rigs and multiple other offshore craft and installations.

We have particular expertise in advising fast-growing, entrepreneurially led companies and we are passionate about supporting these businesses, working closely alongside them to anticipate and guide them through the intricacies of a constantly changing legal landscape at every stage of their growth. 

We also have decades of relevant experience on the commodities side, providing dispute resolution services and advising on non-contentious matters arising from the international sale and transportation of oils, their by-products, energy and metals. 

How our team can advise you

We are proud of our reputation in the market as a leading provider of timely, insightful and commercially focused advice on complex and high-value matters.

As a full-service law firm, we not only focus on the matter immediately at hand but are able to draw on additional practice area-specific expertise right across Hill Dickinson. So if, in addition to guidance on corporate and commodities matters, your business needs advice on related but specialist areas of law such as construction, property and planning, employment and litigation or even intellectual property, you can be sure we‘ve got that covered too. 

It’s simple and reassuring to know that when you become a client of Hill Dickinson, we have the knowledge and expertise to guide you successfully through the legal landscape for the entire breadth and lifecycle of your business.
