Vivek Warrier comments in the Financial Post on activity in Canada's oil & gas industry and in renewable energy and what it has meant for law firms.
He says that M&A and project development work has remained relatively constant despite volatile commodity prices, renewables are seeing very significant growth and there is a “frenzied interest” in hydrogen and geothermal energy. He talks about how adaptability is so important for lawyers and that energy law has become more textured, drawing in a broader range of expertise than in the past. “Virtually every lawyer on the corporate side will intersect with energy.”
