Mining and metals
Freshfields’ mining and metals group spans practice areas including capital markets, M&A, antitrust and dispute resolution in an industry-focused team providing an integrated service to diverse clients around the world.
Freshfields advises all players in the mining and metals sector on their most complex and strategic mandates, including super-majors, mid-cap and junior mining companies, project companies, service companies, funds (including sovereign wealth funds) and other global financial and infrastructure investors, export credit agencies, and lending and underwriting banks. We help these clients deal with rising expectations of ESG standards, the need to decarbonise value chains, geopolitical risks and digitalisation.
We advise on some of the world’s largest takeovers (both public and private), and complex project financings and refinancings in the sector, drawing on our leading antitrust, regulatory, tax and finance lawyers to provide forward-looking advice and innovative solutions.
As a recognised market leader in dispute resolution, including international arbitration, global investigations, risk management, competition litigation and financial disputes, Freshfields is one of the few firms able to help mining and metals clients manage risk in both developed nations and emerging markets worldwide.
