Energy

We advise entities involved in the energy sector on ongoing operational and administration matters (including regulatory and transactional matters, mergers & acquisitions and divestitures (including portfolio packages)), as well as in litigation. Due to the broad spectrum of our advisory services, we have broad experience within this dynamic industry, which allows us to provide our services in a manner best suited to our clients’ needs.

Oil, Gas and Natural Resources

There are two constants to the Polish oil, gas and natural resources market – risk and opportunity.  Whether as a result of changes in law or regulatory policy, technological advances or simply of rapid and often unforeseen shifts in market conditions, oil, gas and natural resources companies will always face challenges.

Our oil, gas and natural resources team understands the sector and work with a range of clients to take advantage of risk and opportunity.

Our oil, gas and natural resources team works closely with a number of leading Polish and international players, and follows the industry’s development up-close. We have strong expertise within the relevant areas of law for the industry, and we provide services that target the industry’s daily work and issues. We also assist in the players’ more extraordinary activities, such as in connection with transactions, dispute resolution, projects, regulatory issues, tax and financing.

Renewables

Poland is fully committed to sustainable energy production. The risk and cost of carbon emissions is more evident than ever, yet Poland has far to go in achieving the ambitious targets set to reduce emissions. Renewable energy has never been more critical with clients needing specialist lawyers who fully understand the key issues, risks and opportunities affecting the sector.

We have an experienced team of energy lawyers who have acted for a diverse range of both Polish and international renewable clients. We advise across all aspects of renewable energy including wind, solar, offshore, energy from waste, geothermal and clean tech projects as well as energy efficiency.
