Utility and infrastructure regulation

We provide expert regulatory advice to businesses operating in regulated sectors.

We are recognised leaders in helping clients navigate regulatory frameworks and, where necessary, challenge regulatory decision-making. We work with some of the largest and highest-profile regulated service providers around the world in sectors including airports, energy, nuclear, rail, telecoms, and water and sewerage.

Our expertise spans a wide range of regulatory work, including advising on price control settlements; licence modifications and other changes to regulatory frameworks; sectoral regulator investigations; enforcement proceedings; and legal challenges to decisions of sectoral regulators (including judicial review). We also provide specialist advice on regulatory issues that arise in transactional and financing contexts, and advise on engagement with sectoral regulators. 

We have a strong track record of securing positive outcomes in the most difficult cases, securing big wins in complex and cutting-edge mandates. Combined with our leading antitrust and foreign investment regulation practice, we operate at the forefront of regulatory developments and our integrated expertise means we provide the highest quality advice on every aspect of regulatory mandates. 

As well as collaborating with key stakeholders in clients’ businesses, we work closely with other advisers, including expert regulatory economists, public affairs experts and policy advisers.
