About

Led by Konstantin Sassen, an extremely experienced general counsel with many years of experience, Sybac Solar Group’s in-house legal team is well-endowed with legal talent. Sassen mentions Laura Tyson, Tay Kutlu, Dr Eva Bauer and Svenja Haisch extremely favourably when discussing the team’s achievements. The projects on which they have excelled are numerous and varied, as Sassen lays out: ‘As well as successfully bidding on and winning several German Renewable Energy Sources Act and Ground-Mounted PV Auction Ordinance bid tenders (80MW in total), we have reorganised the company’s domestic, US and Central and Eastern European business units and sold a 35MW solar project pipeline of the Chilean subsidiary to an institutional investor. The team also sold an interest in a German-Chinese joint venture based in Hong Kong, established a new real estate development business field, sold Sybac Service to BayWa r.e. and established in cooperation with Brookfield Financial Australia a strategic partnership for the Australian market by creating a joint venture in the country’. Internally, Sassen mentions the major innovations by the team to have played a key role in ‘focusing the worldwide business model on development and realisation of solar power plants and optimising the domestic business model in light of regulatory amendments by focusing on several underserved markets and evaluating and assessing existing projects for potential third-party use as real estate development’.
