Driven by energy transition goals, national security priorities, and advanced manufacturing demand, critical minerals have become a central focus of government policy and private investment worldwide. Critical minerals are essential raw materials that support economic security, national defense, and key technologies, but they are often exposed to supply chain vulnerability and disruption. Because they are difficult to substitute, they are increasingly important to clean energy, manufacturing, and defense applications. In response to this growing importance, the firm has established a dedicated Critical Minerals industry sector group providing legal support to global clients navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of critical mineral development, processing, and deployment.
Our Critical Minerals team brings together lawyers, policy professionals, and deep industry experience to deliver seamless, cross-border legal solutions across the full value chain—from upstream extraction and midstream processing to downstream manufacturing and recycling. We advise mining companies, industrial manufacturers, investors, and technology developers on how to develop, finance, and operationalize critical minerals projects across the globe.
