With over 20-years’ experience in the energy sector, especially renewable energies (onshore/offshore windfarms, photovoltaic and biomass), and a task force of 9 partners and about 20 expert lawyers, currently one of the most significant in Paris, CGR Avocats acquired a unique, cross-cutting and integrated approach in energy law.
The team intervenes in a cross-functional way to deal with the multiple dimensions of energy-related projects: regulatory audits, permitting, follow-up of administrative authorizations, complex contracts, land control, administrative, civil or criminal litigation, dismantling/repowering, financing, corporate, acquisition and sale of energy projects…
The energy team works on all the major issues of the energy transition in France, particularly concerning the end of coal plants, the matter of electricity transmission, and all the subjects aiming to achieve the energy mix desired by the French State, such as with offshore wind power or hydrogen and biomass. The team also has strong expertise in e-mobility and electricity storage projects. The firm has recognized experience and expertise in CPPAs (Corporate Power Purchase Agreements), under their various structures and covering all contractual aspects.
Lawyers are devoted to developing an energy legislation adapted to the fight against climate change and large-scale energy challenges. Government authorities and the power and gas regulator are part of the team’s privileged interlocutors.
