Nuclear
Nuclear power is increasingly recognised in multiple jurisdictions as an essential part of the energy supply mix required in order for governments to reduce carbon emissions and improve their energy security.
Given the scarcity of nuclear new builds until very recently, there are very few law firms who can lay claim to a credible track-record in this very specialised sector.
Our experience in energy projects generally is important to our clients, but our in-depth understanding of the differences inherent in nuclear power is critical. Our dedicated nuclear team understands the market and the unique challenges encountered in developing, constructing and financing nuclear power projects, including longer lead times for development and construction, complex export and import requirements for nuclear fuel and dual-use items and nuclear licensing.
