The core members of their team have long been rooted in the industry, and their understanding of technical details (such as management during transition periods and price adjustment mechanisms, and operation and maintenance clause design) far exceeds that of ordinary lawyers, allowing them to offer more forward-looking and practical advice.'
- 'They have deeply participated in the development, financing, construction, mergers and acquisitions, and dispute resolution of numerous benchmark wind power projects, familiar with complex transaction structures, policies, regulations, and technical details; the team integrates professional lawyers from multiple fields such as project development, mergers and acquisitions financing, engineering construction, compliance supervision, and dispute resolution.'
