Energy and Natural Resources
Our members help clients across the spectrum of energy, mining, forestry and other natural resources exploration, development, refining and distribution.
Energy and natural resources drive the global economy. In fact, without energy to drive production and natural resources to create products, there is no economy, whether local, regional, national or international.
Ally Law member firms represent businesses, government entities, and public-private partnerships and consortia across the spectrum of energy and natural resources exploration, development, extraction, refining and distribution. Our clients include upstream, midstream and downstream oil, gas, hydroelectric and renewable energy providers, pipeline owners, utilities, project developers, construction companies, mining companies, vertical holding companies, lenders, local and national governments, and related businesses across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
Our member firms’ transactional and regulatory lawyers routinely advise clients whose combined assets, revenues and facilities are valued in the billions of dollars, placing many of them among the largest corporations in their respective countries. We have helped negotiate, document and close numerous multinational, multimillion-dollar energy investment and natural resources development deals, and ensure compliance with national and international regulatory schemes in the United States, the European Union, OPEC+ countries and beyond.
