Dentons, Projects & Energy | Chambers Europe Profile

About

Provided by Dentons

Energy and infrastructure are key industry sectors in Central and Eastern Europe. Collectively as a region, and separately as individual countries, the CEE presents enormous opportunities, albeit severely impacted at present by Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine.

Dentons’ legacy firms were pioneers in advising international clients on the largest and most complex transactions in the CEE jurisdictions during the post-Cold War emergence of their capitalist economies. Today, Dentons remains the preferred legal advisor in the region, handling landmark deals and high-profile disputes. We provide uninterrupted legal support to clients on all matters related to Ukraine.

Oil majors, independents, transportation companies, power generators, utilities, gas and power distribution and transmission system operators, financial institutions and other players rely on our highly experienced Energy team in CEE—more than 80 energy lawyers in our Bratislava, Bucharest, Budapest, Istanbul, Kyiv, Prague and Warsaw offices—to advise on major transactions, project development and finance, regulatory and environmental law and dispute resolution. Our team across Central and Eastern Europe advises governments on energy-market reform and project procurement. We lead the market in terms of legal advice on renewable energy projects and new energy technologies across the region.
