Energy & Resources

C&G Law’s lawyers have handled major energy projects, both in the Philippines and abroad, and whether as counsel to developers or individual sponsors, to general or specialist contractors, or to the lenders to the project. Their exposure to energy work dates back to opening of electricity generation to the private sector in the early 1990’s and has continued through to the restructuring of the electric power industry. They have experience in work involving plants of various technologies, and covering new or operating facilities.

The firm has also been advising clients operating under the evolving regulatory regime affecting the power sector. It has also assisted in various tenders of individual generation assets of the National Power Corporation, the government agency that had held the monopoly in electricity generation and transmission.

The firm also acts for various generation companies in proceedings in court and before the Energy Regulatory Commission.

C&G Law’s energy sector clients include some of the country’s largest power generation groups and top local conglomerates. As a further testament to C&G Law’s reputation and our high regard in the energy sector, we have also been the retained counsel for the Retail Electricity Suppliers Association (RESA), which is a non-stock, non-profit organisation composed of retail electricity suppliers operating under the Retail Competition and Open Access regime mandated by the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001.
