- DLA Piper’s Projects and Energy practice stands out for its deep sector knowledge, highly pragmatic approach, and ability to manage complex, multi-jurisdictional matters with exceptional consistency. For companies active in the energy and natural resources sector, the team provides exactly what is needed: clear guidance, commercially aligned structuring advice, and an understanding of the regulatory and concession-based realities that shape the industry. Clients would particularly value the team’s project-management capability: they are organized, responsive, and able to coordinate large volumes of work efficiently. In cross-border projects, they consistently ensure seamless cooperation with their international colleagues, banks, regulators, and counterparties.
