With decades of experience in the energy sector, GÖRG supports clients in actively shaping the energy transition and successfully implementing their projects.
As a full-service law firm, we can guarantee our clients comprehensive advice. Our established team includes specialists in energy law as well as experts in the fields of corporate law, taxes, financing, plant engineering, approval processes, procurement law and litigation.
Project development
One of our specialisations is legal assistance for energy production and storage systems. We advise clients in the implementation of offshore and onshore wind farms, hydroelectric power plants, photovoltaic plants and biomass plants, as well as power storage and gas storage facilities. In this process, we assist from the very first ideas and the operational phase through to decommissioning the plant.
Advice regarding regulatory frameworks
We support clients with the market integration of electricity from renewable energy sources, alternative electricity marketing concepts (e.g. PPAs, white label concepts) and regulatory matters associated with decentralised energy supply concepts (energy supply, contracting and tenant electricity models).
M&A transactions
Our experts advise clients during the acquisition and sale of plants in the energy sector. We structure the acquisition or sale process, conduct due diligence reviews, inspect and negotiate company acquisition agreements (share or asset deals).
