Case 1
Advising and representing
a gas and oil exploration and production company in relation to an offshore gas production project
Our lawyers have extensive experience in the diverse and rapidly evolving energy sector. The energy sector is strongly influenced by societal developments and new technologies, which means that the related legal issues are also constantly changing. Energy law is therefore a functional field of law: legal questions arise within a specific operational context and frequently cut across traditional legal disciplines. As our team of lawyers specialises at the intersection of public and private law and possesses in-depth expertise combined with broad experience, we are ideally placed to support you within this dynamic sector.
The range of matters covered by the energy sector is broad and varied. It includes, among other things, the energy transition, such as green hydrogen projects, heat networks and the development of wind farms. Legal issues relating to cables and pipelines also play an important role, while new legislation, such as the Energy Act (Energiewet) and the Collective Heat Act (Wet collectieve warmte), introduces far-reaching changes. In addition, a wide variety of issues may arise under the Mining Act (Mijnbouwwet).
