Norton Rose Fulbright 's competencies cover transactions, project work and financing, which are frequently called upon by financial investors, banks and energy companies in the context of charging infrastructure for electric cars, geothermal, hydrogen and solar energy as well as offshore wind. Klaus Bader heads the firm's European energy practice and routinely assists with cross-border M&A and private equity transactions in the geothermal energy sector. Related financing topics are covered by Dirk Trautmann, who is regularly instructed by lenders, sponsors and borrowers.
