Team Services

Extensive expertise
The green transition and a changing security landscape are among the reasons why the energy sector is in an exceptional and rapid phase of global development. The change affects both the ways of producing energy and the fuels used in production. The energy sector and its complex legal problems require extensive expertise in the field as well as the ability to apply new ideas and regulations to changing situations.
Long history
Our first mandates in the energy sector date back to the early 1920s and were often different background surveys on hydropower commissioned by various industry and bank clients. The next extensive development and operating period of our Energy & Infra practice began in the mid-1970s when nuclear power construction started in Finland. The gradual concentration of domestic industrial energy resources in industry-owned energy companies in the 1970s and 1980s also gave us long-term mandates from various players in the energy sector.
