RES lawyer

We help to create, develop and purchase projects related to different types of eco investments (wind farms, photovoltaic farms, energy storage facilities, heat pumps and your own RES distribution network). We advise individual investors and companies who implement RES projects to go through the complicated procedures related to the acquisition of a legal title to the land, installation, launching and possible sale of the project. We also support production companies and developers who search for green solutions for their projects. For many years now, we have helped clients who own land that can be used for eco investments.

 

If you are planning to start a business, have already started it or have been running it for a long time; if you want to implement eco-investments, purchase a turnkey renewable energy project, or if you own land that you would like to use for this type of project, we are ready to help you in the following areas:
