Orrick is a sector-focused law firm specialising in energy and infrastructure, delivering sustainable solutions and transformative projects for a connected world. Our global team of 180+ transactional, litigation, and regulatory Energy & Infrastructure (E&I) lawyers advises clients throughout the entire project life cycle. We support all asset classes, including nuclear, power, renewables, oil and gas, and infrastructure.

Our pioneering, full-service energy sector experience, knowledge of traditional nuclear power generation and deep technology sector immersion informs our advice for clients developing and deploying nuclear power technologies, including advanced fission, small modular reactor  (SMR) and nuclear fusion projects across the United States, Europe and the Middle East. We deliver fully integrated advice across the lifecycle of nuclear and fusion innovation – financing, licensing, commercialization, development, deployment, enforcement and dispute resolution. We help clients move from concept to construction to commercialization. In the past two years we advised on 75+ nuclearrelated matters totalling $75 billion across both emerging technologies and traditional nuclear infrastructure, including on the UK’s most significant public investment in clean energy this century, the 3.2 GW Sizewell C nuclear power project in Suffolk, England. Orrick is also the only law firm that has advised on the financing of all nuclear generation units that have commenced commercial operation in the U.S. this century.
