Energy, Resources & Infrastructure

Leading the way in a dramatically shifting market

The energy, resources & infrastructure sector is undergoing transformational change driven by a combination of factors: ever-increasing energy demands, population growth and urbanisation, and the global environmental challenge.  Industry participants’ ability to remain nimble and respond to market changes is key to their success.

Asia’s economies continue to be the fastest growing in the world. With growing populations and an increased focus on clean energy and renewables, they are playing a key investment and project development role in the resources and energy sector.

Whether you are based in Asia and are looking to develop a project elsewhere, or you are trying to unlock opportunities in Asia – the team at King & Wood Mallesons can support you.

As a dynamic, forward-looking international team we work with clients to help them to anticipate and take advantage of these forces of change, while supporting them on projects across a range of sectors including:

  • Electricity, Renewables & Energy Transition
  • Mining & Resources
  • Oil and gas
  • Infrastructure & Transport
  • Water & Waste.

Seizing renewable opportunities

From cleantech build-outs, solar megaprojects and on and off-shore wind farm projects, the global renewables sector is filled with opportunity. For those investing it’s a space primed for growth, with success depending on the ability to respond to and manage rapidly advancing technologies, increasing regulatory demands, feed-in tariffs and offtake risk.

In this market where innovation is key, we support financiers, developers and retailers to get creative.

Our team acts across each and every stage of a project’s lifecycle: from securing approval to structuring and finance. Our end-to-end experience means we are well-equipped to work with regulators, policymakers and government authorities as well as private companies.
