Energy law and natural resources

Key legal issues

The energy ‘trilemma’ of carbon emissions, energy cost and energy security are hot topics internationally as people become increasingly concerned by the need to ensure continuity of energy supply and the impacts of climate change and global warming. It is a complicated area, where detailed knowledge of the relevant legal issues affecting the energy sector needs to be allied to an acute understanding of the commercial challenges.
