Energy & Natural Resources
What We Do
Our Energy and Natural Resources practice advises clients on legal, regulatory, and transactional matters across the energy, infrastructure, and natural resources sectors. We act for developers, sponsors, operators, investors, and financiers on projects involving power generation, renewable energy, oil and gas, and related infrastructure.
Our experience includes advising on tender processes, licensing and regulatory approvals, and the structuring and documentation of projects across the development, construction, operation, and maintenance phases. We regularly advise on concession arrangements, power purchase agreements, construction and engineering contracts, and project‑related commercial arrangements. The practice combines sector‑specific knowledge with regulatory and transactional expertise to support the effective execution of energy and infrastructure projects within Malaysia and in cross‑border contexts.
How We Can Assist You
We advise clients throughout the lifecycle of energy and natural resources projects, from bid preparation and project structuring through to documentation, financing, and implementation. Our work includes advising on licensing and regulatory requirements, negotiating and drafting project and concession agreements, and supporting power generation and renewable energy developments.
We regularly act on matters involving joint ventures and consortium arrangements, project and asset acquisitions, and project financing structures, including conventional and Islamic financing. Our broader corporate, banking, and projects capabilities allow us to provide integrated advice on complex, multi‑stakeholder transactions. Throughout each engagement, we focus on delivering clear, commercially grounded legal solutions that manage risk, facilitate regulatory compliance, and support the successful delivery of energy and infrastructure projects.
