Providing transactional and commercial advice on a litany of premium deals, Brodies LLP maintains a ‘formidable reputation in the oil and gas sector, not only locally but internationally’, trusted by a roster of established industry players, regulators, and associations, as well as new market entrants. The team demonstrates notable activity across the entire oil and gas spectrum, including in the offshore space, and has an expansive cross-border offering that has been further bolstered by the firm’s new Abu Dhabi office, launched in May 2023. Energy and infrastructure head Clare Munro assists with M&A, joint ventures, and commercial agreements, often in the upstream and midstream spaces. Greg May’s service sector specialism has seen him engaged on large scale, first-of-its-kind projects, both domestically and overseas; he also receives instructions from operators and contractors on engineering, drilling, and supply chain issues. Rhona McFarlane combines corporate and commercial knowledge to ‘consistently provide outstanding support throughout often lengthy and difficult negotiations’, and Laura Petrie stands out as a key figure in the group for service sector contracting, demonstrating activity on complex construction and transportation projects. Laura Fraser has a growing portfolio of cross-border work that encompasses M&A, commercial and development matters.
