Benefits

Everyone at Stockdale & Gibb has chosen to work flexibly. This helps to minimise overheads and gives you the opportunity to use highly-qualified and talented lawyers who aren’t your employees and without having to pay traditional law firm rates.

Quality

Everyone at Stockdale & Gibb is a highly qualified and experienced energy sector specialist lawyer. We have all worked in a City firm and have experience of working in-house.

Value

Working flexibly and as consultants, we do not incur the overheads of the traditional law firms. Meaning you can work with top quality energy specialist lawyers at more competitive rates than can be offered by the law firms.

Choice

Stockdale & Gibb is not an SRA regulated entity. That allows us to work on a minimal overhead basis, including in respect of the cost of PI insurance, which is a material overhead for law firms. We offer work at competitive rates on a no liability basis; or alternatively work on an insured basis at an additional cost. Each client can make that choice for each piece of work and we tailor the cost and package accordingly.

Flexibility

We work flexibly but can attend your office or meetings whenever required. We have a big pool of talent we can draw upon and between us we provide:

depth of resource – we can pull in people from a wide team of senior energy lawyers.
assistance at a senior or junior level, as the work demands.
specialist support where needed e.g. finance, employment, corporate.
