Pérez-Llorca’s Energy team is formed of highly-specialised lawyers with expert knowledge of regulated sectors, and, in particular, the energy sector, which enables them to give sound advice on all types of transactional work, mergers and acquisitions, demergers and asset sales of the main listed energy companies.
Pérez-Llorca’s Energy team advises public and private entities on matters with a Spanish or international component. Our advice includes:

We also provide advice on processing authorisations and communications with the relevant bodies.
- Project Finance: advice on renewable energy project finance (photovoltaic, thermosolar, biomass and wind plants), natural gas and electricity, due diligence for investment funds and private equity companies, contract negotiation, O&M contracts, EPC contracts (turnkey projects), etc.
