We are a member of the Syndicat des énergies renouvelables, which brings together market participants to work towards the development of renewable energies in our country, for the benefit of the community.
Energy efficiency is a key issue in the fight against climate change and the improvement of public health, and represents a major challenge for those directly involved. Thanks to our lawyers’ multidisciplinary expertise, we can address a wide range of issues.

We provide support to project developers, operators, energy specialists, wind farm manufacturers, electricity operators, investment funds and financial institutions and all industry professionals navigating this ecosystem in France as well as in Eastern Europe, via our foreign offices based in Moscow and Kiev, in Central Asia and in Africa, etc.
