White Legal is a specialist law firm acting exclusively for clients in the energy sector. We have a small team of industry experts, all of whom have more than 20 years legal experience working with top tier law firms or specialist in house teams.

White Legal was founded in 2011 by Mark White, one of Australia’s leading energy lawyers. Since then, White Legal has developed a loyal client base consisting of some of Australia’s leading energy companies.

Members of the White Legal team have acted on some of Australia’s largest energy transactions and were at the forefront of the development of the privatised electricity industry in Australia. White Legal advises on all aspects of energy transactions, including regulatory advice, mergers and acquisitions, offtake arrangements, connection and access arrangements and disputes.

Advice that is tailored & practical

The White Legal model is different to that adopted by many large law firms. We do not have large teams of junior lawyers working on transactions. We provide individual, direct, and customised advice to our clients. Having worked in-house or very closely with a small number of clients, we also provide advice that is tailored and practical. We don’t try to over engineer legal work and we try and produce solutions that are practical and understandable.
