The nuclear sector is entering a new and exciting era, driven by the global emphasis on low-carbon energy, energy security and rising energy demand. Our team is dedicated to helping clients navigate the challenges and opportunities of the global nuclear industry with confidence and clarity, and this briefing is part of that commitment.

In this inaugural edition, our four articles cover developments spanning the UK, the US and ASEAN:

+ Redesigning nuclear regulation: How US and UK frameworks are evolving to support advanced nuclear technologies 

+ Unlocking the Golden Age of UK nuclear: What the Advanced Nuclear Framework means for private AMR developers

+ Breaking ground: The freehold vs leasehold question in nuclear developments

+ Spotlight on ASEAN nuclear power: A mid-year assessment for 2026

Our market-leading 360 nuclear practice combines a core specialist team in London with a network of nuclear hubs across key markets, including Paris, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong and Seoul. This integrated approach enables us to deliver seamless, end-to-end legal insight at every stage of the nuclear project lifecycle.

We hope you find this briefing interesting. If you would like to discuss any of the topics covered, or if there are any areas you would like us to address in future editions, please do not hesitate to contact any of the authors of this briefing, any other member of our wider nuclear team, or your usual Stephenson Harwood contact.
