Key members of Trinity’s legal mining team have advised on greenfield mining developments and related equity and debt financing. The team has also acted on acquisitions and disposal of substantive mining operations. Given the team’s connections and knowledge of the mining industry in emerging markets, notably Africa, Trinity can also advise on the necessary infrastructure to support burgeoning mining operations.

As legal specialists in the mining industry who are passionate about the energy transition and understand the significance of critical minerals to the transition, Trinity has worked hard to act as a bridge to critical relationships between resources and infrastructure.

Our ability to offer local market knowledge and oversee the full lifecycle of mining projects means Trinity’s proven mining lawyers are well-placed to advise on transactions and disputes on behalf of global financial institutions and organisations, as well as mining houses. The team’s awareness and comprehension of the risks and political hurdles involved in sensitive and emerging jurisdictions has enabled us to advise on some of the mining industry’s biggest and most innovative deals and projects; protecting the best interests of stakeholders.

  • Acting for lenders in the project financing of a nickel mine, named PFI’s “Mining Deal of the Year” – Madagascar
