The Energy, Oil, and Gas Department at ALA plays a pivotal role in shaping industry standards, and providing strategic counsel to clients across various facets of the energy landscape.

The Team has been instrumental in authoring the Ghana section of the prestigious Chambers Global Practice Guide, Energy: Oil & Gas, underscoring our deep understanding and expertise in the sector. Our team is recognized for its revolutionary insights and unparalleled dedication to navigating the complexities of oil and gas-related matters.

Led by highly esteemed partners who were among the first to specialize in oil and gas legal work in Ghana, our team is trusted by market-leading clients, including syndicate lenders involved in financing major projects such as the Operator Jubilee field and the OCTP Field. Our counsel is highly regarded for its strategic foresight and pragmatic approach to addressing the unique challenges of the industry.

One of the hallmarks of our practice is our proficiency in advising clients on the intricacies of the oil and gas regulatory regime in Ghana, particularly in areas such as establishment and local content requirements. Our team members are active contributors to the industry discourse, conducting research and publishing insights on critical topics ranging from stabilisation clauses in Petroleum Agreements to maximizing indigenous gains in local content regulations.

Furthermore, our expertise extends beyond oil and gas to cover the power generation sector, where we provide comprehensive legal support to independent power producers. We have experience in negotiating power purchase agreements with distribution and retail entities, and offer advisory services on regulatory compliance and project financing.

Notably, the Managing Partner of ALA has served on the Board of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), bringing invaluable insights and leadership to our practice.

The Energy, Oil, and Gas Department is committed to delivering tailored solutions and strategic counsel that empower our clients to navigate the evolving landscape of the energy sector with confidence and success.
