Focus sector
Energy
Energy projects move slowly, cost heavily, and run for decades — which means the contracts and governance behind them carry risk long after signing. Pactis advises energy and power companies on the agreements, regulatory posture, and risk allocation that hold a project together from financing through to operation.
What we do
Pactis brings disciplined, principal-led legal judgement to the documents that define an energy project's economics and its exposure. We negotiate and draft the core contractual architecture — EPC and engineering-procurement-construction agreements, power-purchase and offtake arrangements, fuel and feedstock supply contracts, operation-and-maintenance agreements, and the joint-venture and shareholder structures behind them — with risk allocation, change-in-law and force-majeure mechanics, and termination and step-in provisions calibrated to survive a long asset life. Alongside the deal documents, we structure the governance that the project company runs on (board charters, delegation-of-authority frameworks, and internal controls), map the regulatory and disclosure obligations that apply, and build dispute-resilience into the drafting so that the contracts hold under scrutiny. Where a matter calls for licensed specialist or in-jurisdiction counsel, we coordinate it through a single point of accountability rather than diluting it across hands.
