Specialised Energy, Natural Resources & Utilities Expertise

Energy & Natural Resources companies face growing legal and regulatory scrutiny. International and domestic regulators, stakeholders, and environmental organisations are increasingly challenging claims and licences across land, sea, and air. As production technologies evolve, intellectual property conflicts and royalty disputes continue to escalate.
‍
Highly competitive and volatile trading conditions create additional legal exposure, while in the UK, Ofgem has become increasingly stringent regarding investigations and fines, often reaching millions of pounds. Meanwhile, CEER, ICER and other oversight bodies shape a multi‑layered regulatory landscape requiring careful navigation.
‍
Consilio brings deep sector understanding, refined technologies, and proven workflows developed across engagements with the world’s largest energy companies, helping clients reduce risk and manage cost in complex matters.
‍
Our teams support clients across regulatory investigations, environmental disputes, trading inquiries, commercial litigation, incidents, operational reviews, IP matters, cross‑border data challenges, and M&A transactions.

Case Study

Cross‑Border Response to Regulatory Investigations

Total document pool reduced from 1.63 million to 11,847 documents for review

The Issue

A major arbitration against an oil & gas company consisted of a pool of 1.6 million multilingual documents centering upon a Norwegian dispute. A significant amount of irrelevant documents in this pool needed to be culled before review to avoid the spiraling cost of reviewing non-responsive material. Due to Covid-related restrictions, the document review element had to be undertaken both remotely and in a completely secure environment.

Our Approach

In combination with key word searches, Consilio was able to use sophisticated data analytics tools, including search terms, date range filters and data analytics functionality including communication analysis, email extraction analysis, language ID. Consilio provided English and Norwegian document review lawyers to review documents using our Secure Virtual Review (SVR) environment. We provided a review briefing document, shared by OSC to manage the 17 categories identified by client as being material to the dispute.

The Result

• Consilio’s analytics and project management specialists were able to reduce the total document pool from 1.63 million to 11,847 documents for review. This significantly reduced the time and cost associated with review.
• Using language identification we able to identify and assign documents in specific languages to the correct review resources.
• Our review team completed the first level review and categorisation into the 17 categories in 507.5 hours of review time, with an additional 58 hours of review management.
• By avoiding outside counsel running the first level review, we reduced the up front and overall costfor our client.
