“Given our commitment as a global legal practice to all aspects of the energy industry, offering our skills and experience to work with and support the Energy and Natural Resources Law Programme at Queen Mary University of London was both ideal and jointly beneficial. We are delighted to be involved in a programme and initiative that provides students with invaluable skills which will enable them to build future careers in the energy law sector. QMUL has an excellent reputation and we are very pleased to be able to work with the law school at the University, in partnership with CCLS, to offer students this exciting opportunity.”
