Legal advice is crucial in major resources projects. But the best lawyers in this field don't just offer advice - they develop solutions to the complex legal and commercial issues that stand in the way of so many projects.
Allens advise and act on the full spectrum of legal issues in the resources sector, from minerals, gas and petroleum exploration, to production and marketing. The region's major players seek our advice on issues as diverse as financing, taxation, litigation, acquisitions, joint ventures, environmental audits and native title issues.
Additionally, Chambers Global ranked Allens among the Top 10 Mining and Minerals firms in the world, the only Australian-headquartered firm to be included.
Experience you can count on
Our pre-eminence in resources law is based on a long history of working on many of the most significant resource projects and transactions in Australia and in the Asian region. More recently, our work has taken us to jurisdictions as diverse as India, Mongolia, Brazil and Guinea. Our role as key advisers to many of the world's largest resources groups, such as Rio Tinto, has placed us at the cutting edge of developments in the natural resources area.
We use our extensive experience and expertise in this sector to represent successfully the interests of proponents, syndicate managers, joint venture participants, lenders, borrowers, equity issuers and underwriters.
Solving the toughest legal challenges
Reputation means little unless you keep up with the latest challenges in the industries you wish to serve. We are helping major players prepare for the introduction of emissions trading in Australia, as well as advising on projects involving emerging technologies, such as carbon capture and storage.
Our strong relationships with governments and regulators mean we can help clients obtain important regulatory approval and, in some cases, even challenge and change legislation to benefit their interests.
We are lawyers with strategic knowledge, technical and negotiating skills, and a commercial approach. We are committed to helping you make things happen, whatever the project or transaction – and whatever the obstacles.
