We help investors and companies to understand their exposure to political risks in the energy transition.
As a nationally strategic sector, energy is highly regulated and closely scrutinised by political actors. Political risk considerations are therefore central to energy investment or commercial expansion.
We provide political due diligence services to deal teams, corporate boards, underwriters and lenders in the energy sector.
Clients require in-depth analysis of political risks ahead of mergers and acquisitions, to help limit and/or price their exposures.
Companies seeking to expand operations, either through a physical presence in a new market or segment, or through a new trade relationship, also use political due diligence to advise shareholders and develop appropriate strategies.
We also support political risk insurance and reinsurance research, whether for underwriters or for clients conducting their own internal assessments ahead of the underwriting process. Similarly, we work with lenders where price and credit risk depends on political risk factors.
We conduct detailed analysis of relevant policy issues, identifying key policies, potential policy developments, politically exposed processes (such as licensing or planning applications) and important political stakeholders. We include mitigation and management recommendations as part of our due diligence reporting.
