Sector Overview

WONE in
Natural Resources.

Energy and natural resources operations are inherently multi-jurisdictional — projects located in one country, capital raised in another, offtake agreements with buyers in a third, and corporate structures in a fourth. The professional services requirements span sector-specific regulatory frameworks, complex project finance structures, and political risk management across markets with very different levels of institutional stability.

WONE's energy and natural resources practice is particularly strong in the emerging markets where the world's most significant new resource projects are located — Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. WONE partners in these markets have direct experience of sector-specific regulatory environments, not just general commercial law.

01
Regulatory licensing across extractive industry frameworks
Mining and energy projects require licences, concessions, and permits from multiple regulatory authorities — national energy regulators, environmental agencies, land authorities, and sector-specific bodies — each with different processes and political dynamics.
02
Project finance documentation across multiple jurisdictions
Energy project finance involves lenders, sponsors, offtakers, and contractors in different jurisdictions — each requiring documentation under different legal systems, with financing agreements that must work across all of them simultaneously.
03
Transfer pricing in natural resource projects — royalties, management fees, intercompany pricing
Natural resource projects face intense transfer pricing scrutiny from host governments. Royalty arrangements, management fees, and intercompany commodity pricing must be documented and defensible across the jurisdictions involved.
04
Energy transition — renewable energy regulatory complexity
The renewable energy transition creates new regulatory complexity across every market — grid connection rules, power purchase agreement frameworks, carbon credit regimes, and green finance structures that vary significantly between jurisdictions.
