Energy & Natural Resources

We provide multi-disciplinary, comprehensive support to all types of energy and nature resources companies, with a particular focus on investors and lenders. We have the experience needed to provide value-added services to our clients and we structure our advice to reflect the issues facing today’s companies. Our lawyers have advised renewable energy projects, utilities, oil and gas companies, natural resource developers, independent power producers and mining companies.

Whether it is an acquisition, a financing or a power contract negotiation, our lawyers have the full range of experience and skills needed for the successful completion of a project. We are fully conversant with all issues that arise in energy or natural resources transactions.

We have advised on some of the largest development, mining and environmental projects in Romania, successfully managing and addressing the legal and regulatory issues and risks.

We pride ourselves on providing practical and usable advice to our clients. Using our real-world experience and intimate knowledge of E.U., Romanian and Moldovan laws and regulations, we develop workable solutions to our clients’ specific business and legal needs.
Although a key part of our practice is keeping our clients in full compliance with local rules and regulations, we also have a leading litigation and dispute resolution practice. One of our firm’s main strengths is negotiating, and if necessary, litigating against local and national authorities. We have excellent experience in all forms of governmental actions including inspections, dawn raids and criminal investigations. We have a diversified environmental practice which includes helping clients on transactional matters, performing company reviews (and due diligences) as well as obtaining, maintaining and transferring permits and authorizations. We also assist with compliance matters related to privatizations and mergers and acquisitions.
