Hogan Lovells International LLP

Hogan Lovells International LLP has a long history of involvement in ​​project financing, in particular large-scale financings in which Carla Luh is skilled, on top of its involvement in a wealth of solar projects. Luh, and the team more broadly, count banks and other financial institutions as core clients, as well as other investors, sponsors and borrowers. Overseeing the team is Matthias Hirschmann, an experienced energy lawyer who is equally adept in M&A transactions with an energy annex, including joint ventures, as he is in advising on regulatory issues in gas and electricity. Tobias Faber is also key on the regulatory side, particularly for renewable energy, in which the winder group is also well versed. This increasingly means involvement in the green hydrogen space, and acting for clients looking to invest in the energy transition. Further standout lawyers include Alexander Koch, who is called upon by multinational energy companies for cross-border energy transactions, including joint ventures. Fabian Bonke, who was promoted to partner in 2025, is strong in construction disputes in the energy sector, while Tobias Flasbarth counts international companies as key clients.
