Energy
We have one of the largest oil and gas practices in Russia and in the CIS, working in tandem with our office in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Our in-depth knowledge of this sector means we can advise clients on all aspects of their energy-related business, relevant issues, including:
- subsoil licence applications
- joint venture structuring and negotiation
- restructuring and sale of entities holding subsoil licences
- due diligence on acquisitions and joint ventures
- negotiation of equity and/or debt transaction documentation
- regulatory issues (including competition and foreign investment restrictions)
- transportation and refining arrangements, including pipeline access issues
- operating arrangements
- financing and security issues
- export control issues.
In January 2012 we significantly strengthened our energy practice when leading Canadian law firm Macleod Dixon - with its highly regarded Russian energy practice - joined Norton Rose Group.
