Energy
Our team of energy law experts is your strategic partner, providing customised expertise to answer your questions, secure and optimise your projects, anticipate regulatory changes and successfully operate in an ever-changing sector.
The team’s cutting-edge and cross-disciplinary expertise in this fast-changing field enables us to support our public and private sector clients in meeting these complex legal challenges. We provide you with in-depth knowledge of national and international regulations in energy law, covering all sectors including fossil, nuclear and renewable energies.
We work in “project mode” and are involved at every stage of the energy value chain (from project design and development, through energy operation, transmission and distribution, to energy asset valuation and sale).
Our extensive experience in this field enables us to anticipate regulatory changes, safeguard your projects and defend your interests through advice, compliance and litigation.
Our expertise also extends to energy transition issues, which we proactively monitor in order to alert our clients to regulatory developments and assist them in key areas such as energy efficiency and renovation of buildings, local energy loops such as individual and collective self-consumption, green hydrogen, electric mobility mechanisms and recharging infrastructures (IRVE), energy recovery from waste, etc.
We also support you in securing your energy contracts (PPA, BPA), as well as any acquisitions or shareholdings you may have in companies operating energy assets
Our approach is interbranch, with strong and sustainable partnerships in engineering, technology, and business.
