Utilities

We act for some of the most recognisable names in the UK energy sector, including the majority of the Big Six and a range of challenger suppliers across both domestic and non-domestic markets.

Our specialist team is highly experienced in resolving complex legal, regulatory and commercial issues affecting electricity and gas suppliers.

We handle the full range of supply-end challenges, including:

• Late billing disputes and shipperless accounts
• Multi-tenanted and split-metering sites
• Off-site metering and vacant or squatter-occupied premises
• Erroneous transfers
• Supplies to insolvent entities
• Mis-selling claims and broker-related disputes
• Fraudulent changes of tenancy (COTs)
• Datalogger, SMART meter and metering accuracy failures
• Multiplier errors, mis-estimation and industry charge challenges
• Energy theft, fraud and warrant proceedings

We are regularly instructed to act in contested warrant applications and have secured multi-million-pound recoveries in commodity theft claims. Our team also advises suppliers on how to mitigate and respond to energy fraud, including phoenix operations, creditor avoidance and other supply chain abuses.

In addition to disputes, we provide strategic advice on all aspects of supply licence compliance, industry codes and downstream regulatory frameworks. We help suppliers navigate Ofgem requirements, respond to enforcement risks and stay ahead of a constantly evolving regulatory landscape.
