About

Dr Patrick Wolff, general counsel and chief compliance officer for Uniper’s large, 112-strong legal and compliance function, lists three main project successes for the team over the past two years: ‘Firstly, we achieved the successful spin-off and listing of Uniper, a fantastic achievement for a company with a market capitalisation of approximately €10bn. We also managed major asset disposals totalling over €2bn in this time, and participated in successful international arbitration and litigation processes that resulted in awards from the industry press’. Internally, the team also succeeded in achieving ‘complete global functional integration of all legal areas into a centralised management model’, and put together a ‘highly efficient and competitive panel of law firms’ which complement the already impressive skills within the internal legal team.
