Rymarz Zdort MarutaThe energy sector is integral at Rymarz Zdort Maruta, with the firm routinely engaged in projects covering joint venture and M&A structures within the PV and gas sectors, with a particular specialisation in LNG projects. A recent area of expansion for the firm is atomic projects, with recent highlights including advising PGE on the development of Poland’s second nuclear plant. The team frequently collaborates with the firm’s dispute resolution department in order to handle contentious cases with an energy focus. Leading the team is Marek Durski, who is lauded by one client for being ‘ahead of the market in terms of his knowledge’; his wide-ranging practice covers M&A and privatisation transactions within the energy sector. Other key contacts include Łukasz Lech, an energy law expert, and Adrian Augustyniak, who focuses on regulatory issues concerning the energy sector. The firm recently bolstered its environmental and ESG offering with the addition of Agnieszka Skorupińska from CMS, who now leads a dedicated sub-group.
