DWF Poland has a distinctive, full-size, comprehensive practice devoted entirely to renewable energy. It is one of the most recognized RES practices on the Polish market, and a one-stop-shop for clients active in renewables.

The firm's lawyers assist in all legal matters related to the RES sector, including investments (development, permitting and licences, grid connections, transactions, environmental issues, M&A), day-to-day operations, as well as disputes. They have been involved in acquisitions and development of a vast number of solar and wind projects, both onshore and offshore.

The team is also renowned for advice in regulatory and legislative matters. The firm's lawyers assist sector chambers and organizations, as well as individual clients, in solving complex regulatory matters and building their position on sectoral issues. For example, they support clients in a number of energy regulatory disputes before the President of the Energy Regulatory Office and courts. 

They assist the Polish Photovoltaics and Energy Storage Association and the Polish Wind Energy Association, strengthening the organizations' efforts with respect to issues concerning the support scheme for renewables in Poland and the EU. They are also involved in works of the Offshore Taskforce of the Polish Wind Energy Association in which we help to work out proposals for the regulatory environment for offshore wind.
