Washington – May 9, 2018: Crowell & Moring is pleased to announce that it has secured 60 rankings for 52 individual lawyers in the Chambers USA 2018 guide. Twenty-four practice areas were also ranked in the guide. The regional and national rankings are driven by independent interviews of clients and members of the legal community.

The global energy crisis together with the ongoing energy transition received top billing for 2022 and, from an international disputes perspective, will continue to dominate in both the short and medium term. In particular, disputes arising from price volatility of raw materials and energy are expected to be the leading cause of disputes, followed by the construction of energy infrastructure (which was the leading cause of disputes in the last five years). International arbitration remains the clear choice for the resolution of energy disputes.

Over the past 2 years, our Energy & Infrastructure Team has seen first-hand the impact COVID-19 has had on greenfield infrastructure projects both in the UK and more globally from the US to the Middle East; from impact on cashflows to operational uncertainty in supply chains; from delays in government approvals to Government mandated shutdowns. 

The 2022 Mid-Year Energy Forum is a day and a half of discussions focused on all aspects of energy law, policy and trends. Topics will include supply chain impacts, ESG, LNG, hydrogen, stranded assets, crisis management, and West Virginia vs. EPA.
