Oil & Gas
We have a thorough understanding of the different phases of an oil & gas project, which allows us to advise producers, sellers, and buyers in a wide array of affairs including financing, regulatory requirements, operation and distribution.
Our members have extensive experience in oil & gas arbitrations (both commercial and investment), covering cases relating to farm-outs and farm-in, joint operating, exploration and exploitation, production sharing, among other type of agreements.
Additionally, we have dealt with industry issues such as, inter alia, duties and other charges imposed on oil revenues, termination of contracts and licenses, supply of equipment and gas pricing.
