Oil

Our team provides clear, strategic counsel across various aspects of the oil sector, from navigating regulatory challenges to structuring transactions. We value trust and foster long-lasting relationships with clients at all levels of the industry, including national oil pipeline operators, international oil organizations, global oil traders, and local storage facility providers.

We handle complex regulatory and transactional issues that often extend beyond local borders. Our work includes managing oil crisis response situations, such as establishing alternative international supply routes, addressing untested reverse oil flow propositions, navigating business interruptions due to international sanctions, dealing with cross-border oil route contaminations, and resolving unexpected interruptions in cross-border infrastructure projects. Our clients’ projects range from European Commission-endorsed projects of common interest (PCIs) to routine local operations and maintenance storage facility contracts.

Increasingly, our clients rely on us for novel structures and bespoke arrangements across regional boundaries. These include multiparty cross-border oil swap schemes, competition compliance programs for international non-sensitive information exchange platforms, cross-continental transportation arrangements, third-party access to national oil pipeline systems, national emergency oil stocks strategies, and the design of international tax and customs schemes for cross-border storage projects.

In every engagement, we commit to providing straightforward, transparent advice that aligns with our clients’ strategic objectives and ensures compliance with all relevant regulations.
