Energy

At LCA, we have a team of legal experts able to support you in a broad range of energy matters. We advise Italian and foreign investors and lenders in complex investment, financing, acquisition and development of projects in the traditional energy sector (petrochemicals, natural gas and electricity) and renewable energy sector (solar, wind, geothermal, water and biomass). We’ll help you prepare the documentation required by the GSE (Gestore Servizi Energetici). We’ll work with you to resolve issues arising from energy projects in Italy and abroad, and handle relations with tax and customs authorities.

We’ve acquired wide-reaching knowledge and skills in the heterogeneous Oil & Gas market. We can advise and support you throughout the complex production chain extending from extracting and refining petrochemical products to marketing them. We can help the operators within the industry on a broad range of tax and legal issues, from the structuring and negotiating of extraordinary finance transactions, to the creation of corporate and contractual joint ventures for the construction of hydrocarbon and natural gas production and extraction plants. We have years of experience assisting leading companies in natural gas and electricity supply in Italy and abroad. For this reason, we have the know-how to guide your company through out-of-court proceedings and litigation before the tax authorities and tax courts and support you in all issues relating to the taxation of energy products and production and extraction plants.

At LCA we understand the value of renewable and clean tech energy. We know that many established companies and start-ups, investment and venture capital firms choose to operate in the renewable energy sector for a wide range of reasons and targets (such as energy saving, environmental protection or the reduction of global pollution). We take pride here at LCA in having the right expertise to advise and support you on issues relating to photovoltaic, wind, geothermal, hydraulic and biomass energy. We monitor international laws and regulations within the energy storage sector to ensure you are always compliant with domestic and utility-scale energy laws.

We can also support you in due diligence issues relating to acquisition and financing transactions. We can advise you in the drafting and negotiation of EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction), O&M (Operation & Maintenance), EFET (European Federation of Energy Traders) and FIDIC (International Federation of Consulting Engineers) contracts.
