Public energy law and RES sector

The production of energy, whether conventionally or through renewable energy sources, is subject to regulations that require a particular combination of knowledge from the fields of public economic law and private law.

Legal assistance in the field of energy is addressed to companies already active in this market, but also at those who intend to benefit from the rapid development of this sector in recent years, particularly in the field of renewable energy sources.

The main barriers facing companies in this sector are of administrative nature. The time it takes for investors in the energy sector to arrange for the necessary administrative decisions and comply with other legal obligations often makes the timetables set out in business plans infeasible.

Our experience in the energy and RES sector allows us to significantly reduce the negative impact of administrative barriers to allow investors to implement projects within the expected timeframe within the projects’ expected costs.

We work with companies in the energy sector on a client-specific basis, which includes ongoing comprehensive legal services, participation in individual projects along with the preparation of ad hoc expert reports.

Katowice, as the seat of our law firm, facilitates our relations with entrepreneurs operating in the Silesian region. In the experience of our law firm, however, the geographical criterion does not limit the range of our legal assistance, as we provide and are well-positioned to provide legal assistance to clients regardless of their registered office. What is decisive in this respect are the interests of our clients and the necessary place of providing services.

In the area of Energy Law and RES Sector, we render such services as:

• Ongoing comprehensive corporate services.
• Regulatory advice.
• Representation in proceedings before the President of URE and SOKiK.
• Negotiation of agreements in the field of energy.
• Due diligence of energy companies.
• Handling company conversions and demergers (M&A transactions).
• Services for new business entities – including support for the establishment and registration of companies.
• Handling commercial transactions, including domestic and international transactions.

In view of geopolitical developments in recent years, energy production has gained a special importance in ensuring the country’s security, not least in terms of energy. We are indeed happy to have played a part in this process and will be further participating in the transformation and development of this sector.
