Renewable Energy

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

    Ideally — at the planning stage. This allows for proper project structuring, avoiding unnecessary costs and delays due to legal barriers.

  • Does GOLAW work with international investors?

    Yes. We advise foreign funds, developers, and financial institutions, adapting projects to international legal and reporting standards.

  • How are disputes with the Guaranteed Buyer handled?

    We assess the case, build a legal strategy, represent clients in all court instances, and ensure enforcement of judgments.

  • Can I choose a specific set of services instead of full legal support?

    Yes. We offer flexible cooperation formats — from targeted consultations to comprehensive legal support on a turnkey basis.
