Energy law

Renewable energy has established itself as a stable sector of the economy. The renewable energy market will continue to grow in the future and gain in importance, whether in terms of energy supply and security, environmental protection, or as an economic factor, particularly in rural areas.

In recent years, wind energy, photovoltaics and biogas have not only demonstrated their practical viability as reliable sources of energy; they also represent a worthwhile investment in a sustainable source of income.
Our firm has been supporting projects in the renewable energy sector for more than fifteen years. We advise stakeholders at various levels, ranging from landowners leasing land for the construction of wind power and photovoltaic installations to investors involved in the planning of such installations. We have particularly extensive experience in advising strategic investors (e.g. international funds) on the acquisition, operational management and development of portfolios.

Owing to our specialisation in agricultural law, we possess considerable expertise in integrating energy projects into agricultural businesses. In this regard, we support a wide range of farmers, whether as suppliers of substrates, operators or cooperation partners for installations, or as energy consumers.
We provide comprehensive advice in the field of energy law. We support you in the acquisition, construction and operation of plants; in operational management; in the marketing of electricity, heat, biogas and end products (e.g. digestate); as well as in the planning and implementation of follow-on uses for the plants once subsidies under the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) have expired.
