Transaction Green M&A
Transactions are part of our Regulatory team’s DNA. We structure transactions with a focus on regulatory requirements and work together closely in large teams. We sometimes work in project organisations, especially when we are dealing with the impacts of environmental law on deals and companies. It is becoming increasingly evident that regulatory services are a decisive and value-adding factor in M&A transactions. Sustainability is also coming to the fore in mergers and acquisitions.
We have special transactions expertise in the field of renewable energies and the transition to green energy, i.e. green M&A We advise investors and energy companies on the acquisition of hydrogen projects, photovoltaic power plants and wind farms in Germany and Europe. Thanks to our many years of experience in the realisation of projects such as these, we have a detailed knowledge of the steps involved and the legal obstacles to be overcome. We find the perfect solution for every transaction, from land acquisition and planning permission proceedings to installation and grid connection. Large-scale infrastructure undertakings are part of our daily business.
PUBLIC LITIGATION
Public litigation proceedings are also an established aspect of our work. Our Public Litigation team has longstanding experience in diverse litigation proceedings. We deal with a wide range of cases, including arbitration actions, from administrative courts to the Federal Constitutional Court.
Another focus of ours is public litigation in energy law. We represent and protect the interests of our clients in various courts of law with our expertise. For example, we represent energy suppliers in court on matters such as energy price caps and CO2 levies2.
Our ability to analyse complex legal issues enables us to develop innovative solutions. Implementing sustainable strategies in a constantly changing legal framework is our primary objective.

We particularly focus on climate actions, and there are currently more than 2,000 pending around the world. Now, as a result of the EU’s Green Deal, there will also be an increasing number of climate actions in Europe. Sentences imposing more ambitious climate targets on companies will be an increasingly significant factor in risk assessments. Clients facing climate actions benefit from our dependable support as the partner at their side.

Our practical approach to facilitating our clients’ successful adoption of circular economy business models encompasses both legal solutions and strategic support.
