Hogan Lovells International LLP’s team is led by Carla Luh and advises borrowers, German and international banks and investors as well as energy and infrastructure companies as sponsors and operators of energy and infrastructure facilities on project financing in the telecoms and renewable energy sectors. Most recently, this included fiber optic expansion, onshore and offshore wind farms as well as solar and photovoltaic systems. Here, clients also benefit from the cooperation across other locations. Luh is supported by counsel Stipe Bojanic (project and infrastructure financing), who joined the team from A&O Shearman in early 2024.
