Energy
The energy and infrastructure sector is undergoing significant changes, driven by the energy transition, large-scale investments, increasingly complex projects, and rapidly evolving regulation. Successfully navigating these developments requires in-depth knowledge of the field and an understanding of the legal, commercial and regulatory issues that impact projects and investment decisions.
We advise investors, lenders, developers and selected sponsors, including listed companies, private equity investors, infrastructure funds, financial institutions and industrial players on a wide variety of transactional and project matters across the energy and infrastructure sectors. We are particularly known for our expertise in renewable energy and green transition projects, including wind, solar, hydrogen, energy storage, power grid infrastructure and e-fuels.
We advise on all aspects of the energy and infrastructure field, focusing mainly on:
- M&A transactions, investments and financing,
- joint ventures and consortium arrangements,
- large-scale energy and infrastructure projects,
- complex project contracts and contractual frameworks, including EPC, O&M, PPA, connection, offtake, supply and interface agreements, and
- project development throughout the full project lifecycle, covering land use, permitting, regulatory and other relevant matters.
Project contracts and large, multi-party contractual structures are at the core of our practice. We have extensive experience in structuring, negotiating and managing the full contractual architecture of major energy and infrastructure projects from early-stage development and procurement documentation to construction, financing and long-term operational agreements. Our in-depth expertise enables us to structure and align project, financing and commercial contracts, while effectively steering complex negotiations among sponsors, contractors, lenders, offtakers and public authorities.
In addition to transactional and project work, we advise on the legal and regulatory framework governing the energy and infrastructure sector. Our experience extends to industry-specific regulatory, environmental and contractual matters that arise throughout the planning, development, construction and operational phases of major projects.
