Energy & Natural Resources
Energy and natural-resources mandates are shaped by long-term capital, complex contractual frameworks, intensive regulation and increasingly rapid technological and policy change. Clavius advises businesses, investors, project participants and other stakeholders across conventional and renewable energy, oil and gas, mining, utilities and energy infrastructure in India and across jurisdictions.
Our work spans project and commercial arrangements, power purchase agreements, production-sharing and joint operating agreements, investment and market entry, regulatory and environmental issues, sanctions, investigations and disputes. We act across both established energy markets and the transition to lower-carbon systems, including renewables, transmission, emerging energy technologies and carbon-related frameworks.
