About

Provided by CMS

The energy & projects team at CMS Prague has been active in the energy sector since the market liberalisation. We have advised both state entities and foreign investors on the privatisations of electricity, heating and mining companies, as well as buyers and sellers in subsequent transactions. The team has also been heavily involved in the development of the Czech renewable sector, advising investors on the development, acquisition and financing of solar, wind and biomass energy projects, including all regulatory aspects.

Our extensive experience of working with leaders of energy companies, regulators, governments, industry bodies and investors on the cutting edge of commercial, regulatory and risk issues means we know the sector inside out. Through our understanding of this complex and fast-paced industry, in which we have been active in CEE since the beginning of the privatisation and liberalisation of the energy and climate change sector across the region, we have helped to shaped the sector by advising on the most high-profile and ground-breaking projects and transactions over many years.

Our dedicated energy and climate change lawyers work in every part of the sector, including upstream and downstream oil & gas, electricity, nuclear and renewables. Whether our clients are NOCs, IOCs, independent, electricity companies, investors, governments or financial institutions, we have the energy specialists to meet their strategic challenges locally, regionally and globally.
