Risk is at the heart of the energy business — it’s woven into the very fabric of the industry and often what drives its most successful players. In contrast, insurers specialize in understanding, managing, and pricing risk in ways that allow them to maintain balance and predictability.

Matt Jones, an experienced oil and gas lawyer, will guide you through the full life cycle of hydrocarbons — from their discovery deep underground to their eventual use as fuel. At each stage, he will highlight the key legal risks that emerge along the way.

The goal is to provide underwriters with a clearer understanding of the industry’s legal landscape, enabling them to assess risk more accurately and craft cost effective insurance solutions tailored to the energy sector.
