Infrastructure & network expansion
Why work with us in the area of infrastructure & network expansion
Create infrastructure. Accelerate grid expansion. Mastering transformation.
Project support
From route planning to commissioning – legally compliant and efficient through all approval phases.
Legal clarity in the room
We are familiar with the interfaces between infrastructure, environmental and planning law and maintain an overview even in complex procedures.
Networks of the future
Electricity, gas and hydrogen pipelines – we support projects that form the backbone of the energy transition.
Energy projects are crucial for climate neutrality, security of supply and economic progress. However, time pressure and complex requirements make their implementation challenging. We support project developers and authorities through all project phases – from early planning and the planning approval procedure to expropriation and implementation.
Our strength: the close connection between planning, environmental and energy law – combined with a clear view of what is feasible. This is how we create a legally secure basis for the energy infrastructure of tomorrow.
Range of services
Our range of services for infrastructure & network expansion
Whether as project managers on behalf of planning approval authorities or as (legal) advisors to project developers, we support our clients in the planning and approval procedures required for the construction and operation of new pipeline and infrastructure projects. If lawsuits or applications for urgent legal protection by third parties cannot be avoided, we defend the approvals granted in administrative dispute proceedings.
After the approval notice has been issued, changes in technical or planning conditions may require the project to be rescheduled. We support companies and authorities in the preparation and review of the documents to be submitted, the design and implementation of the amendment procedure and the drafting and review of the required amendment permit.
For both energy pipelines and site-specific infrastructure, structured process management and good application documents are the central pillars for legally compliant and swift project approvals. For our clients, we contribute our expertise and many years of experience in supporting environmentally relevant projects throughout Germany in the drafting of documents and the implementation of official and public participation.
Legally compliant contracts and cooperation agreements are essential for the planning and implementation of infrastructure and network expansion projects. We develop tailor-made solutions for our clients and their project partners.
No infrastructure project can be implemented without access to land. We assist in negotiations with the affected owners and land managers, provide support in the early transfer of ownership and represent our clients in expropriation and compensation proceedings.
