Here are the Services we offer:
Innovative financing structures, world class bespoke legal documentation, and a deep understanding of commercial drivers are key to the success of large scale, long term energy, construction and engineering and infrastructure projects in Libya and internationally. We understand these sectors inside-out, from the possibilities to the pitfalls owing to a proven track record of advising project sponsors, banks, government and administrative entities on local and international projects in oil and gas, power generation, renewable energy, water and wastewater, airports, tourism, public housing and infrastructure. Throughout every stage of a project’s life cycle we can help you with project structuring, delivery and financing, risk analysis and management, preparation of project documentation and contract negotiation, transaction and project due diligence, planning, environment and title acquisition advice, equity investments, tax structuring, acquisition and disposal of project interest and dispute resolution. We understand project delivery models such as EPC, EPC+F, BOT/BOOT, PPP/PFI and can adapt and harmonise international best practices to work under Libyan laws, administrative contract and procurement regulations, or whatever the local context might be.
Whatever the transaction, we understand the energy and infrastructure industries inside-out, from the pitfalls to the possibilities. International oil companies, oil services companies, power generation companies, project developers, banks, private equity funds and foreign capital investors regularly instruct us to advise them on a diverse range of transactions and projects across the oil, gas, infrastructure and renewable energy sectors.
We have a track record of success in numerous first-of-their-kind deals and understand precisely how to import and restructure western and Islamic finance principles to form valid, binding and enforceable obligation.
We focus on litigating complex disputes while providing outstanding client service, never forgetting that the best results for our clients might involve an alternative solution. We get involved with disputes and stay involved, advising clients with confidence and clarity. Whatever level of advice you require, we’ll add real value. That might be acting as counsel as part of your dispute management team, providing discreet advice on standalone issues of Libyan law or being called as an expert witness on complex questions of Libyan law.
We represent clients before all types of trial, appellate, regulatory and alternative dispute resolution tribunals in Libya, Europe, the Gulf and sub-Saharan Africa. We also regularly act for clients in arbitration matters brought before the International Chamber of Commerce.

We’re experts on the day-to-day legal issues faced by businesses operating in and around Libya, whether they’re in the energy and infrastructure sector or not. We can help with employment law, customs, and local banking and foreign exchange control regulations. But we can also advise on one-off matters including shareholder agreements, joint venture agreements and mergers and acquisitions. We also act on establishing and licensing corporate vehicles according to local laws, as well as on winding them up
With us on your side, you’ll have exceptional and honest strategic advice on how to cope with any situation that your organisation finds itself in. We understand the market nuances and the legal and business principles like few others. Whether it is about how best to navigate new and complex business environments, support on regulatory matters or help with interpreting local laws or customs, we’ll go out of our way to ensure that you come out on top every time.
While we’re an international firm, we concentrate all our pro bono efforts in Libya with the ultimate goal of trying to support the country’s social and economic development and the rule of law. This means giving back to the Libyan community and helping people who need access to legal advice but cannot obtain or afford it.
