ResourcesLegal 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. The globalisation of resource markets can offer new opportunities for many businesses in the Asia Pacific region. In Australia, issues of industry restructuring, competition policy, native title and greenhouse gas emissions continue to be significant for the resources industry. Long term contracts (something vital to business viability in this sector) also attract attention for their impact on competition. We 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. Experience you can count onOur 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 the Asia Pacific region. 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 natural resource and energy projects to successfully represent the interests of proponents, syndicate managers, joint venture participants, lenders, borrowers, equity issuers and underwriters. Solving the toughest legal challengesReputation means little unless you keep up with the latest challenges in the industries you wish to serve. Our lawyers virtually created the legal model for energy privatisations in Australia. We are guiding clients in their negotiations with native title holders and supporting major firms preparing for emissions trading. Our strong relationships with governments and regulators mean we can help clients obtain important regulatory approval and in some cases to even challenge and change legislation to benefit their interest. We are lawyers with strategic knowledge, technical and negotiation skills and a commercial approach. We are committed to helping you make things happen, whatever the project or transaction – and whatever the obstacles.
