The energy sector needs a strong legal basis due to its regulatory intensity, high investment volume and long-term risks. At the same time, ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria have become a framework that directly affects investment decisions, financing processes and company valuations.
KYO Legal provides comprehensive legal counseling to companies making energy investments, developing renewable projects or targeting ESG-oriented transformation. It provides both technical and strategic support on topics such as project development, financing, permitting processes, sustainability reporting and regulatory compliance.
