About

The large and highly qualified legal and compliance team of energy company innogy currently consists of a total of 238 individuals globally (lawyers, paralegals and assistants) and is led by the highly experienced Dr Claudia Mayfeld who operates as vice president and general counsel for legal and compliance. She put the team’s greatest internal successes over the past 24 months as ‘continuous optimisation of cooperation with internal clients, continuous development of cost optimisation and cost efficiency as well as creation of cost transparency, the creation and control of juridical basic conditions for the growth business and the consistent pursuit of our insourcing strategy’. Externally, the team has been equally as active, executing a number of extremely high-value deals that put it right on the front pages of the business press across Europe with Dr Mayfield citing: ‘On the one hand the legal accompaniment of the founding of RWE International (later renamed innogy ) in April 2016 and the legal advice regarding the subsequent successful IPO of innogy in 2016, which was the biggest IPO in Germany since 16 years. On the other hand currently the legal advice to the transaction between E.ON and RWE regarding innogy’. It has achieved all this while negotiating an increasingly deepening regulatory environment present thanks to ever increasing legislation aimed at the energy industry.
