Work highlights
Advising a leading Romania-based electricity producer and provider of technological services to the National Energy System in Romania on the establishment of a joint venture with a UAE-based renewable energy company, to jointly develop 2,000MW of renewable energy projects in Romania. This is a highly complex matter and unique in the market, given the scale of proposed investment and the state’s decision behind it.
Advising a leading Romania-based integrated oil company on a wide range of transactional, competition and regulatory matters in the oil sector, including on the potential acquisition of a top Romanian gas and energy supplier, acting as one of just three law firms in the market entrusted with the highly complex due diligence associated with the transaction.
Advising Hybrid Life as investor on all aspects of the development of a 200MW battery storage (BESS) project in the rapidly-expanding renewable energy sector in Romania, as just one highlight of a wide range of work for large traders in connection with their oil, gas and electricity trading in Romania.
