Brett has a broad transactional and advisory practice, advising on the law and regulation applicable to a broad range of energy, commodity, and environmental products and markets.

He has well over 20 years’ experience advising energy and commodity traders, banks, exchanges and clearing houses, and trade associations on power and gas trading, carbon trading, listed derivatives, Exchange-Traded Notes (ETNs), and other complex products, as well as regulatory and compliance matters. During this time, Brett has advised on a wide range of “market-leading” transactions and matters.

For more than 13 years, he has advised the European Federation of Energy Traders (EFET), now operating under the brand name Energy Traders Europe, working on many of their major documentary and regulatory initiatives. He is one of very few external lawyers invited to join the FIA’s Energy and Emissions Working Group.

Brett is a member of On-Chain: Reed Smith’s Crypto & Digital Assets Group, and in recent years has increasingly advised on digital assets. His practice in this area includes tokenisation structures, regulatory structuring, digital asset derivatives, and developing and structuring ETNs and investment products based on digital assets.
