Noerr expands Energy practice with Gabriele Haas

Noerr is strengthening its Energy & Infrastructure practice: Gabriele Haas will join Noerr’s Frankfurt office as a partner (senior counsel).

Gabriele Haas is currently a partner at Dentons and has longstanding experience as an inhouse lawyer in leading positions at blue-chip energy companies. She specialises in advising companies and investors on issues of energy law and regulation. She also has considerable experience in advising on ESG compliance.

“We are delighted to welcome Gabriele Haas to boost our dynamically growing energy and infrastructure team,” says Christof Federwisch, partner at Noerr in Frankfurt and co-head of the practice group. “Her expertise is an excellent addition to our advisory portfolio, particularly as regards legal advice on the transition to green energy and the associated necessary transformation processes in the economy.” Katrin Andrä, Berlin-based partner and co-head of the practice group, emphasises: “Her extensive experience in energy projects is very valuable for our strategically important high-end advice on complex energy and infrastructure transactions. There are other crossovers emerging from our close collaboration with Noerr’s Corporate and Compliance teams.”

“I am really looking forward to working with my new colleagues,” says Gabriele Haas. “Noerr advises clients at the highest level on all current energy law and regulatory issues. Together we will grow Noerr's market-leading position.”

Noerr’s Energy & Infrastructure practice, which consists of more than 50 lawyers, advises on regulatory issues, energy law, energy M&A and large-scale infrastructure projects. The practice focuses on matters involving legal aspects of the transition to green energy, climate change and the energy crisis, as well as decarbonisation and sustainability issues.
