  • Power projects, both renewables/green energy and thermal (including nuclear).
  • Upstream oil and gas, including reserve based lending where he has advised on deals including assets in most of the major oil & gas basins.

Nick also has significant experience across the midstream and downstream oil and gas sectors (including LNG, pipelines and petchems), of oil & gas M&A and commercial work (including field decommissioning arrangements), and of infrastructure projects (including PFI/PPP). He was seconded to the project finance team of a leading commercial bank in 2011-2.

Nick’s clients include energy project sponsors/developers, oil & gas majors and independents (including private equity backed vehicles), and commercial and international development banks.
