Members of Atkin Chambers are regularly instructed in relation to disputes arising out of large projects in the Energy, Natural Resources and Utilities industries, both within the United Kingdom and across the world and are recognised as experts in these sectors. Our client base is wide and includes energy companies, engineers, funders, governments, operators and subcontractors.

Instructions cover a wide range of energy and natural resources projects, including oil exploration and exploitation (both on-shore and offshore facilities and platforms), pipelines, and related vessels such as ultra deep water drilling and pipe laying vessels, mining and extraction of minerals by other means, sustainable and renewable energy projects and all types of power plants. In the utilities sector, examples include disputes in connection with the provision of electricity, water, desalination and sewerage services.

We offer clear, commercially focused advice and effective solutions to complex legal and technical issues, hallmarks of these industries.
