Regulation in the energy sector is growing as much as its complexity, changes frequently and always has a great impact on the structure and profit and loss account of companies. The environmental responsibilities, so linked to the use of energy, are increasingly going beyond the scope of legal entities to affect the individuals responsible for management. The monitoring, interpretation and implementation of regulations are therefore priorities for all companies in the sector, whatever their size or the segment in which they operate. 

At Andersen we advise our clients on all issues related to this complex regulation and accompany them through all phases of their business development, from the incorporation and start-up of companies to the representation and defense of companies and their managers before the competent authorities and courts. 

In the field of energy, we operate in almost all subsectors: hydrocarbons, electricity and renewable energies. We offer our experience in all types of corporate operations, especially in incorporation, mergers, acquisitions, due diligence and arbitration, as well as in the formalization of all types of contracts and operating licenses in generation, transmission, distribution and marketing. In addition, we have experts in structuring project finance and debt restructuring.
