Building on 40 years of experience advising on power, oil & gas and renewables through to energy disputes, emerging areas and Energy Transition, CMS is uniquely placed to ensure clients receive advice best suited to their commercial needs and to our collective future.I work largely in the oil and gas sector, advising operators and service companies on regulatory issues, upstream contracts, procurement and construction contracts, IT and competition law. I have worked closely with Oil & Gas UK on a variety of industry initiatives including the industry standard Decommissioning Security Agreement (DSA) and Joint Operating Agreement. I advised extensively on the introduction of Decommissioning Relief Deeds and the amendments to the standard DSA to accommodate them. I also assisted Oil & Gas UK in developing their financial responsibility guidelines for E&A wells.I am a Leading Individual for Oil & Gas in Scotland in Legal500 and rated Band 1 by Chambers for Oil & Gas in Scotland - "highly regarded by commentators, who praise her "always good and commercial legal advice and really good support."
