Energy: For two decades, we have been at the heart of the transformation of the Polish energy market. Our team is the go-to choice for major players across the electrical, oil & gas, and mining industries. We view the law as a tool to achieve business goals – which is why we don’t just advise on investments in new power generation units; we actively shape the market. Our track record includes implementing the renewable energy auction system, driving the legislative process for the offshore wind industry, and facilitating the merger of two domestic energy giants. We combine rigorous regulatory expertise with the imagination required for projects that redefine the economic landscape.
