“A highly experienced team of senior lawyers who have a very hands-on approach to matters on which they advise. In the area of projects and energy, they have been advising us primarily on regulatory-related matters and commercial contracts, where they have demonstrated a breadth of expertise (including in the areas of regulatory, competition and EU law) as well as deep insight into the way the market operates. The Bratislava team is able to provide their assistance with the involvement of the White & Case network, which is an added value in particular in relation to cross-border situations.”
