NUCLEAR

Nuclear projects are uniquely challenging – they require a deep understanding of a sector shaped by stringent regulation, long durations, and complex contractual arrangements. That’s why we treat nuclear as a distinct specialism within our practice, combining legal expertise with practical sector insight to help clients navigate challenges confidently and efficiently.

From procurement through to project delivery and dispute resolution, we support clients at every stage of the project lifecycle. We are well-versed in the contracting models unique to nuclear, including alliancing and disaggregated structures, and work with our clients to anticipate issues before they arise. By working closely with our clients – often as an extension of their team – we act not just as advisors but as trusted partners, ensuring that legal advice is aligned with real-world delivery pressures.

Our experience spans the breadth of the industry, covering: the construction of new-build nuclear power plants; the maintenance and upgrade of existing facilities; nuclear waste treatment plants; and pioneering nuclear fusion projects.

We know that nuclear projects operate under intense public and political scrutiny, and there is no room for error. Our role is to help you navigate challenges and achieve successful outcomes, and what sets us apart is our combination of specialist knowledge and a pragmatic, commercially focused approach.

If you are embarking on a nuclear project – whether new-build, decommissioning, waste management or fusion – and would like to explore how we can support you, please get in touch with David Nitek.
