Legal Advisory across the Energy Sector

Strategic legal advisory for energy and infrastructure — from hydropower to solar. We negotiate power purchase agreements, secure approvals, and structure project financing to keep projects on track.

Legal Advisory across the Energy Sector

Hydropower and renewables sit at the centre of Nepal’s growth story, and developing and financing an energy project demands a team that understands risk and reward in equal measure. We advise throughout the project life, from a first survey application to energisation.

Developers, lenders and operators rely on us to negotiate power purchase agreements (PPAs), secure generation and environmental approvals, and structure financing that is genuinely bankable.

A strong PPA and a clean set of regulatory, environmental and financing documents are what separate a viable project from one that stalls.
