Energy & Infra
Extensive expertise
The green transition and a changing security landscape are among the reasons why the energy sector is in an exceptional and rapid phase of global development. The change affects both the ways of producing energy and the fuels used in production. The energy sector and its complex legal problems require extensive expertise in the field as well as the ability to apply new ideas and regulations to changing situations.
Innovative legal solutions
We provide innovative commercial and legal services throughout the lifecycle of each project. Our expertise covers all segments of the energy sector, including hydropower, nuclear power as well as wind and solar power. Our team has in-depth expertise particularly in the production of energy under the so called Mankala principle.
Multidisciplinary team
Our multidisciplinary team consists of dedicated legal professionals working closely with our other practice areas. We advise our clients on a wide range of matters from regulation to land use, areal planning, construction, real estate and financing of new capacity, energy sales, transactions in connection to energy assets, and energy-related litigation. We advise our clients on environmental, health and safety regulation, including permitting requirements, operational compliance, energy and carbon emission matters, investigations, management of pollution and contamination liabilities as well as remediation and compliance programs. We advise on potential or known environmental risks in transactions, financing, and cooperation.
Long history
Our first mandates in the energy sector date back to the early 1920s and were often different background surveys on hydropower commissioned by various industry and bank clients. The next extensive development and operating period of our Energy & Infra practice began in the mid-1970s when nuclear power construction started in Finland. The gradual concentration of domestic industrial energy resources in industry-owned energy companies in the 1970s and 1980s also gave us long-term mandates from various players in the energy sector.

Cooperation began in the early stages when TVO applied for a permit for construction to build the plant from the Government and shareholder financing was agreed on.
