About

Provided by Van Doorne

The energy sector is diverse and in continuous flux. We take a multi-disciplinary and highly practical approach to our mandates. We do so on the basis of sound sector-experience and with a view to provide actionable advice.


Multi-disciplinary

High levels of service and a collaborative approach are key to our proposition. We are also no-nonsense and practical. Energy-issues demand an integrated technical expertise, legal skills and – if need be – political assessments in order to be solved successfully. We thus appreciate that it all not merely comes down to offering legal perspectives. We bring the right skillsets to the table – through our sector knowledge and experience.


Hence, at Van Doorne, our transactional, regulatory and contentious experts work in integrated teams. If need be, we engage advocates, tax-lawyers and civil law notaries from other practice areas, such as finance. This enhances the quality of our offering and is also cost-efficient.
