Energy
The conversion of energy supply as part of the phasing out of nuclear power, innovations in renewable energy and networks as well as a highly volatile oil price - there are few sectors currently seeing as many changes as the energy sector. As a result, a reliable advisor familiar with both the legal framework and industry-specific requirements is vital.
