Linklaters channels the experience of its team to advise investors, independent power producers and financial institutions, demonstrating ‘strong market insight and experience’ on such mandates as assisting a consortium of commercial lenders with the non-recourse green financing of a offshore wind farm. Patryk Figiel leads the team, and is adept at handling transactions involving the acquisition and financing of renewable and conventional energy investments, while recently promoted counsel Jakub Dąbrowski is well-regarded for his advising of domestic and international investors on energy investment projects.
