[QUOTE="Jake Rickman, post: 146327, member: 8521"] On the shipping side: [B]HFW[/B] and [B]Stephenson Harwood[/B], as well as [B]Reed Smith[/B] due to the legacy of Warner Cranston, which Reed Smith acquired in 2001. [B]Clyde & Co[/B] is a legacy shipping/maritime firm but has moved more towards pure insurance work (there is a lot of overlap with shipping and insurance). [B]Ince[/B] was also a big maritime firm traditionally, but it has had severe financial troubles and was recently acquired by a private company after going into insolvency, in a move that has many in the legal profession raising their eyebrows. [B]Watson Farley Williams[/B] is another firm with a history of maritime and shipping. [URL='https://chambers.com/legal-rankings/shipping-uk-wide-1:47:11805:1']Chambers has a list of the top shipping firms in the UK (and globally as well)[/URL]. You will see it is a pretty niche sector where many of the biggest players are comparatively small in terms of revenue (Reed Smith is the exception). Though on down towards the Bands 3-4 range, some heavy hitters like [B]Norton Rose Fulbright[/B] emerge. Many of the shipping firms do energy work as well (I know [B]HFW[/B] does). Energy is a massive sector though. It might be helpful to distinguish between those that were traditionally advising oil & gas companies — Texas firms [B]Vinson Elkins[/B] and [B]Akin Gump[/B] as well as NY-HQ'd[B] Weil Gotshal & Manages[/B] — and those that market themselves as renewables focused ([B]Gowling WLG, Osborne Clarke[/B], and [B]CMS[/B] comes to mind). Though in practice any law firm that markets itself as an oil & gas specialist will also do renewables and vice versa. Though having looked at Chambers UK, perhaps unsurprisingly, the three Band 1 firms for Energy & Natural Resources are [B]Clifford Chance, Linklaters, and Allen & Overy. [/B]For renewables, it's Linklaters and Allen & Overy again along with [B]Norton Rose Fulbright. [/B] [/QUOTE]
