About
Provided by Lambadarios Law Firm
Our Energy practice is among the strongest in Greece, having advised on many of the largest and most high-profile energy transactions and projects in recent years. Drawing on the strength of our practices in Utilities, Project Finance, M&A and Banking & Finance, we advise domestic and international players in Greece’s vibrant energy market on issues ranging from concessions, licensing, and exploration rights to financing and regulatory compliance.
Our wide-ranging experience of supporting energy companies and their investors and lenders has given our team a deep understanding of the dynamics of this increasingly important sector. Greece’s climate makes it a natural home for renewable energy projects, so, as well as advising clients on oil and gas projects, we have been prominent in wind, photovoltaic and solar projects and also in waste-to-energy developments.
The Energy team handles a wide range of energy law issues, both administrative and commercial, focusing on energy project licensing, development and finance, and the wholesale and retail sale of electricity to the benefit of both local and international clients. This work includes advisory, drafting and negotiating and, when disputes arise, litigation and arbitration.
Chambers Review
The energy team at Lambadarios Law Firm ranks in the top tier as a result of exceptional market support and visibility on high-profile mandates. Its lawyers regularly assist energy clients with M&A, financing and joint ventures. The team has additional experience in contentious mandates, including energy-related arbitration. The law firm primarily represents renewable energy producers, with particular experience in wind farm projects, while also handling mandates involving the gas sector.
