We offer legal services that span every phase of project development, including:

• Acquisition financing and structuring of project consortiums.

• Land due diligence and acquisition, zoning, permitting, and licensing approval procurement.

• Regulatory consultation and compliance with energy and environmental laws, including ESG requirements.
