Natural resources businesses are characterized by complex challenges; from obtaining the right funding for development projects at the right time, managing international tax profiles to techniques for managing volatile commodity prices and establishing acceptable risk sharing mechanisms.

Oil & Gas

With the fluctuations in commodity pricing, the industry is looking for ways to improve operations, capital structures, and reduce costs as it navigates yet another inevitable cycle.  Our clients range from National Oil Companies to middle market services firms venturing overseas for the first time, so the scope of our experience and insight is broad—yet very accessible through a partner-led service model and seamless global coordination across geographies and services.

Mining

The mining industry is renowned for expanding into unknown parts of the world. The current economic climate, together with the scarcity of quality projects in countries with existing mining operations is resulting in exploration and development efforts in countries and areas that have previously been considered too risky or marginal. With more and more mining companies exploring investments in these emerging markets, your success depends on improving performance and operational efficiency, securing new supply, and complying with ever-changing regulatory, reporting and tax requirements.

Power Generation & Distribution

Volatile energy prices, aggressive investor involvement, intense regulatory scrutiny, and changing consumer behaviors are creating significant challenges for the power industry. As this environment continues to evolve, power companies will see a significant impact on assets, business models, and customer engagement.
