This leads to an in-depth and systemic market and sector knowledge of the complex energy system.
We are involved in many matters relating to global energy transition, restructuring of the energy market and are representing clients in renewable energies, carbon storage and in climate change litigation. We can do so because over the past couple of decades we have been actively involved in all major developments within the energy sector.
We are the only law firm in the Netherlands with an energy practice that integrates our in-house expertise in transactions, regulation, litigation and criminal enforcement. We work in small multi-expertise teams, staffed as required by the matter and as cost-effective as possible. This approach ensures that clients benefit directly from our expertise.
