Client:        Global Utility Company
Project:      Solar PV Project
Year:           2017-18
Role:           International and Local Counsel 

Engagement
The client required an energy expert to negotiate and advise on the development of a 1MW solar PV rooftop project.  

Benefits to the client
•   Traditional law firms would typically resource this with a partner and junior associate, with an approximate partner time allocation of 20%.  SRS Law was able to resource this with 100% partner time.

•   Due to lower overheads, SRS Law's partner rate was lower than a junior lawyer at an international law firm.

•   SRS Law was able to operate more cost-efficiently than a traditional law firm because no training on the job was required.

Client:        Global Oil Company
Project:      Middle East Oil Concession
Year:           2017-18
Role:           Support to Global Law Firm

Engagement
The client required an oil and gas expert with experience of advising oil companies in the jurisdiction.  The global law firm could not meet this requirement, and therefore it sub-contracted SRS Law as a consultant.

Benefits to the client and the law firm
•   The arrangement meant the global law firm was able to service the client's needs, rather than turn down the work or do it less efficiently.

•   The client has no additional compliance or administrative burden:

        -  all of the advice was provided under the brand of the global law firm. 

        -  the client continued to receive invoices only from the global law firm. 

•   Due to SRS Law's lower overheads, the global law firm was able to pass on cost savings to the client.
