IMG’s offshore practice group provides top quality legal advice and transactional support to domestic and international companies operating in the oil and gas, mining, and renewable energy sectors. As a relatively compact firm, we are able to offer advice across the entire range of practice areas, thereby allowing us to deliver outstanding legal and commercial results for our clients in a practical and cost effective way.
In the same way that we used our shipping expertise to take ourselves into oil and gas work, so too we are now using our experience of offshore construction and drilling, as well as shipping, to develop our wind and energy practice. Our offshore energy experience means we are well-placed to advise businesses in this field of expertise.
IMG’s energy and offshore lawyers play an integral role in corporate transactions – evaluating environmental risks, advising on risk management and allocation, and exploring and devising practical solutions to environmental problems. Whether it’s a complex joint venture, a note offering, or project development, IMG’s legal skills give our clients an edge in dealing with the legal nuances in energy and offshore challenges.
Contract Review and Drafting Support. Among the services we offer are drafting and reviewing oil & gas agreements, drilling and operating agreements, advising on the regulatory regime, government policy and guidelines, interpreting newly issued statutory provisions, and providing representation before the regulatory agencies, such as the United States Coast Guard.
Environmental Expertise. We also deal with shipping accidents, oil spills and the clean up of wrecks, as well as legal matters relating to ports and harbors, warehousing, freight forwarding, and combined or multimodal transportation, sale and purchase of ships, ship registration and financing under both United States and foreign flags.
