Our corporate commercial practice also provides a strong link between our clients and their regulators, helping to timely secure approvals. 

We provide company secretarial and legal advisory services to an electricity distribution company with exclusive distribution franchise across four states and to an independent energy company with interests in multiple upstream petroleum assets. Our partners were part of the team that supported a multi-billion dollar liquefied natural gas project in setting up structures and navigating the legal and regulatory environment. We have advised several companies on the establishment free zones or free zone entities and on the establishment of major infrastructure projects such as independent power plants, gas processing plants and fertilizer plants. On such projects we provide regulatory advice, advise on and assist with setting up project structures and draft and negotiate project and financing agreements.
