Linklaters' international mining team advises top mining and metals companies, securing resources vital for the world's operation

Having operated in the mining sector for decades, our experienced team understands the complex commercial drivers impacting the industry from elevated geopolitical risk, access to resources and shareholder activism to the shift away from traditional resources towards minerals that feed into the battery supply chain and support a transition to a low carbon economy. This enables us to guide clients through all market conditions to develop innovative, forward-thinking legal solutions to support your business objectives.

Our corporate and finance teams are supported by specialists in environmental, social and governance matters, antitrust, tax, intellectual property, litigation, arbitration and compliance. Together, they provide clients with legal advice at each stage of the mining life cycle through exploration, investment, development, production and closure.

We recognise that you will often operate in remote areas of the world and seek growth opportunities in countries whose legal regimes are still under development and facing periods of significant political change. Our global footprint is reflective of this.
