Pinsents Glasgow partner to be global Oil & Gas head

International law firm Pinsent Masons has appointed Glasgow partner Rosalie Chadwick as global head of Oil & Gas. 

In a 20 year career in the sector Ms Chadwick has advised clients from super majors to small listed independents and services companies on deals including multi-million pound mergers and acquisitions, and capital markets deals in the UK continental shelf and across international energy hubs. She also completed a two year secondment as global general counsel to an independent oil and gas company with assets in the former Soviet Union and Middle East, guiding it through flotation on the New York Stock Exchange.

In her new role she will work in tandem with Pinsent Masons' renewables energy team, supporting major clients with deals, disputes and financings, as well as the transition to zero-carbon futures.

Ms Chadwick commented: "The oil and gas industry is a fantastic sector to work in and it is a real privilege to fill this role, leading a team of industry experts who are central to our firm's full-service global energy offering."

She added: "I am very confident that energy transition is another development in the energy sector that our clients, and we as a firm, will take in our stride."

Global Energy sector head at Pinsent Masons, Melanie Grimmitt, said: "Our global O&G practice, under Rosalie's leadership, continues to see ever-increasing levels of activity, not least as many of our clients work through their energy transition strategies.

"The energy industry is rapidly adapting as the drive to curb climate change gathers at pace across the world. We are in a strong position to be able to support our exploration and production and services clients during this transition period as they invest and innovate to support a net zero future."
