Resources
Australia’s vast natural resources sector, including minerals, oil and gas is being further opened up by globalisation. From industry restructuring to native title considerations, the legal and commercial issues of resources projects can be wide-ranging and complex.
Our clients include not only resources companies, but also those who provide services to those companies and those who purchase products from them. We consider that this gives us a balanced approach in commercial negotiations and when advising our clients.
We have the capacity to handle large, multi-party and multi-jurisdictional projects involving major issues relating to the environment and heritage, infrastructure, land use, native title, project financing, tax and risk management.
Our resources team comprises leaders in Australian and Asian resources law supported by a large library of practical precedents developed from our extensive sector experience.
