Energy Industry

The energy transition road is long and arduous. The shift in energy production, in power consumption and in the (high-energy) economy is an uphill process consisting of many small steps and touching on many different legal areas. The “stakeholders of the energy transition” are thus faced with the formidable challenge of having to successfully navigate through the labyrinth of regulatory requirements.

As a law office with decades of experience in the energy sector we have made it our mission to provide our services as a ‘one-stop shop’. Whether approval proceedings under plant law, questions regarding energy regulatory law, contract drafting or the lodging of appeals – whatever your concern, you are in good hands with us.

The broad-based but specialised legal advice we provide is not an end in itself but results from the close tie-ins between the different legal areas previously mentioned. This notion is borne out in our practice group ‘360° Renewable Energy’, which offers not only competent advice but also provides continuous updates on current developments in the energy sector on its own website (www.360ee.at).
