Comprehensive legal support for RES projects — from development to dispute resolution


GOLAW — your trusted advisor in the implementation, financing, connection, and legal protection of energy projects

What is legal support for renewable energy projects?

Legal support in the renewable energy sector means providing clients with comprehensive assistance at every stage of implementing solar, wind, biomass, biogas, and hydropower projects. It is more than document processing — it is about preventing regulatory, contractual, and tax risks.

GOLAW advises and represents developers, investors, banks, EPC contractors, the Guaranteed Buyer, traders, and market operators — regardless of the scale or stage of project implementation.

What we do:

  • Structuring transactions, projects, contracts, and financing
  • Conducting legal due diligence
  • Obtaining permits, licenses, and technical conditions
  • Drafting EPC contracts, PPAs, and agreements with the Guaranteed Buyer
  • Representing clients in disputes with the Regulator (NEURC), TSOs, and counterparties
  • Advising on RES taxation and supporting inspections

Supporting participation in tenders, green auctions, and ancillary services markets
