Devine & Severova is a boutique law firm founded on the principle that high-quality legal services can be delivered with greater efficiency, flexibility, and commercial awareness than traditional models allow. With a strong focus on the oil and gas sector, the firm was established by senior lawyers with decades of experience at leading international law firms. Devine & Severova operates with a clear strategy: to work in markets and industries where they can demonstrably add value by combining premier legal expertise with cost-effective solutions.

The firm’s strength lies in its deep sector knowledge, particularly in oil and gas, where its lawyers have supported a wide range of clients on everything from first-of-their-kind deals in frontier jurisdictions to ongoing operational and regulatory matters. Services span the entire industry lifecycle, including acquisitions and disposals, farm-ins and farm-outs, joint venture and shareholder arrangements, oilfield services, LNG and petrochemical projects, and host government granting instruments such as production sharing agreements and technical service contracts.

Devine & Severova’s agile structure ensures senior lawyer involvement at every stage, resulting in consistent quality, responsiveness, and a high level of commercial relevance. The firm offers innovative and flexible billing models—eschewing rigid hourly rates in favor of arrangements that deliver cost certainty and value.

Beyond oil and gas, the firm also advises across a broad spectrum of sectors including mining, power, agriculture, FMCG, real estate, hospitality, and education. Services in these areas include corporate restructurings, joint ventures, asset and share deals, concession contracts, and regulatory and foreign direct investment matters.

What sets Devine & Severova apart is its client-first approach. The firm builds long-term relationships based on trust, integrity, and mutual understanding. Their lawyers have worked across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the CIS, bringing local insight and global standards to every matter.

At Devine & Severova, clients gain access to senior expertise, strategic thinking, and legal solutions that support their commercial goals—without compromise on quality or cost efficiency.
