Gleiss Lutz continues to consolidate its position in complex infrastructure and environmental mandates, advising transport operators, energy suppliers and public bodies on regulatory, climate and energy-sector issues. The practice’s growing ESG capability reflects client demand, particularly in relation to the national Emissions Trading System. Marc Ruttloff, heading both the environmental and ESG offering, provides continuity across these intersecting areas, supported by counsel Eva Koch’s broad environmental expertise. The team’s cross-disciplinary approach is reinforced by Jacob von Andreae’s public law and compliance focus, recently demonstrated in his guidance on approvals for a new gas and steam power plant, underscoring the group’s regulatory depth.
