CMS's state aid practice, led by Michael Bauer, continues to operate at the intersection of national and EU frameworks, advising federal ministries and energy-sector clients on complex subsidy regimes and notification procedures. The practice’s involvement in drafting climate protection funding programs reflects a steady engagement with emerging regulatory instruments. Cross-border coordination remains a defining feature, particularly where Charter-based or procedural EU law questions arise; Luisa Thomasberger contributes notable technical depth in these areas, reinforcing the group’s capacity to manage issues across energy, transport, and restructuring-related state aid matters.
