Oil and Gas.
Upstream, midstream, and downstream advisory across the GCC energy sector.
The legal architecture of upstream-to-LNG descends through concession, joint venture, midstream offtake, and reserve-based finance — each at its own depth.
Upstream joint-venture structuring across the GCC sits at one level of the work; midstream and LNG commercial-contract advisory at another; regulator engagement with UAE and federal energy authorities at a third. Concession architecture, JOA1 drafting, PSC cost-recovery frameworks2, and reserve-based finance documentation are the recurring shape of mandates in this sector.
Disputes in oil and gas tend to surface late in the cycle — offtake and pricing disputes, JV deadlock, regulator-led inquiries3 — and require the same combination of contractual depth and procedural discipline that the firm's pillars apply more broadly. We work the sector across upstream, midstream, and downstream4.
“The right contract architecture at upstream is what determines whether a midstream dispute is winnable.”
