About

Provided by Avance Attorneys

Energy independence and the creation of low-carbon economy are key drivers of Finnish energy policy. In the past years these have been reflected within the market in the construction of new nuclear power capacity, predictable regulatory frameworks, incentive schemes for renewable energy, and the upsurge of new generation bioplants. These market developments attract significant inflow of foreign investment. Our team has been closely involved in this journey and has held a leading role in all of the recent major energy and infrastructure transactions involving our market. We work closely with both local energy and infrastructure companies and investors looking for opportunities within the sector, providing a full range of advisory that extends from transactional and structural advisory to regulation and policy.
