We regularly handle disputes arising from gas, oil, electricity and other forms of power.   

Examples of some recent matters that we have successfully handled: 

• Acting for the Bulgarian Overgas Group in a US$105 million arbitration (settled in March 2021) with Russian oil giant Gazprom relating to Gazprom’s decision to stop supplying natural gas to Overgas in January 2016. 
• Advising the world’s second largest Oil and gas company Rosneft in overturning the largest ever arbitral award of US$50billion made against it, known as ‘the Yukos award’. Our team were instructed as co-counsel to develop the successful strategy. 
• Advising a listed Indian energy company in two SIAC international arbitrations with a value of US$320million arising out of a dispute with lenders following a private equity transaction with international investors to consolidate its shareholding in a company controlling major international assets.

We also have many years’ experience representing clients in disputes relating to construction, both in Court and arbitrations.
