Expert guidance on a complex gas supply contract dispute

Our company engaged Kay Medlin to assist with a contentious gas supply contract negotiation that had stalled for months. With her 48 years of experience, particularly in natural resources law, she immediately identified the core commercial and regulatory risks we had overlooked. Her deep knowledge of the industry, honed from her work at Bradley Murchison, was invaluable. While her billing is reflective of her expertise and the 2022 'Lawyer of the Year' recognition is well-deserved, communication timelines could occasionally be tighter due to her busy mediation schedule. That said, her strategic approach saved us significant future liability. We achieved a favorable, durable agreement and would confidently recommend her for complex energy matters.
