Regulierung & Governmental Affairs
We specialise in energy, infrastructure, environment, planning and construction, mobility and ESG.
Whatever industry you are in, regulatory requirements are on the increase and making day-to-day business more complicated. As leading regulatory experts in Germany covering an exceptional range of topics, we help you to keep track of things and achieve the best results while complying with all the rules and regulations.
With more than 40 legal advisors, each with their own sector insights, we cover the entire depth and breadth of public commercial law. We advise you on individual transactions, provide ongoing assistance in aligning your business to changing legal regimes, handle the challenges posed by compliance issues and act for you in litigation before the national and European courts and arbitral proceedings.
We also play a role in legislative processes at a European and national level. Alongside this, we help public authorities implement strategically important projects on a regular basis.
The firm’s lawyers are in close contact with key decision-makers from politics and business. Our clients from the private sector also benefit from our client relationships with federal and state authorities.
