Linklaters LLP

The team at Linklaters combines its energy sector expertise with a cross-practice approach, meaning the group is well placed to advise on a range of asset classes, from renewables to conventional energy. Significantly, the team acts in complex restructuring projects and cross-border renewable energy projects to assist with the green energy transition, such as those involving large power plants. Thomas Schulz runs the team and often leads the group’s presence in such projects. The broader group is well-established within M&A in the energy industry, epitomised by regular assistance with acquiring minority stakes in large German energy companies. Among the group’s other standout practitioners are Julia Sack, who is well versed in transaction support and contract law, and Laura Marx-Pfälzner, who is frequently prominent in the group’s alternative and renewable energy mandates, and is also a key contact for service contract advice.
