Partner at Dentons Europe LLPLouis Skyner an English-qualified solicitor, joined Dentons in May 2017, having worked in the project finance and energy practice of a leading international law firm in both its London and Moscow offices.

Finally, Louis has used the experience he has gained working in the energy sector to provide advice to governments across the region, both on the implementation of concession and public-private partnership arrangements for energy and infrastructure projects, and on unbundling and the development of competitive power markets.
In addition to his legal practice, Louis has authored numerous articles on Eurasian energy market regulation, economics and politics. He has previously held part-time positions as an Associate Professor at the New Economic School in Moscow and the European University in St Petersburg, an Associate Fellow of the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London, and a Research Fellow at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs in Oslo.
