Pinsent Masons is a multi-national, full-service commercial law firm, operating across 28 locations over four continents. We are one of the largest UK-based firms, with our roots tracing back to 1769. Recognised as one of the most progressive and innovative law firms in the world, we advise clients with international operations that extend across the globe. We recognise that delivering a first-class legal service goes beyond pure legal guidance, and a solid understanding of cultural and local commercial issues underpins our advice. Our strategic aim is to be a purpose-led, professional services business with law at the core, that leads the market in its five global sectors – Energy, Infrastructure, Financial Services, Technology, Science & Industry and Real Estate.

We have over 15 years of experience working on ground-breaking CCUS projects around the world, advising on all stages of project development, from supporting with strategy and project structure at the outset, through the property, planning, procurement, delivery and financing stages. We deliver a unique insight into the latest market developments at a governmental and industry level, as a result of our involvement in a significant number of first-of-a-kind CCUS projects, and a number of leading policy and industry bodies relating to CCUS, Hydrogen, and Net Zero.

We are currently advising on multiple Carbon Capture projects that are involved in Track-1 and the Track-1 HyNet expansion process as well as projects that are intending to participate in the East Coast Cluster Track-1 expansion process and the Track-2 Phase 2 emitter process. In addition, we are advising on a number of projects seeking to develop merchant projects using the sale of carbon dioxide removals (carbon credits) to service capex and opex requirements.
