    Environment & Energy

    Closely inter-connected, the legal issues of environment and energy are increasingly important for companies, banks, insurers, municipalities and other authorities. Legislation in the area is developing rapidly and constantly raises new demands. 
     
    Wistrand advises most of the major players in the energy production sector. We can assist in a variety of issues including permits, contract, tax and fees. We can also act as counsel in legal actions concerning violation of the law. Wistrand has particular expertise in dealing with concessions for the supply of electricity and with emission rights. 
     
    Governmental and municipal agencies and authorities also consult our office for advice and counsel. Wistrand is engaged on a regular basis by universities and by both public and private companies for education in environment and energy legislation. 
     
    Wistrand's environment group reviews environment and energy compliance in conjunction with acquisitions and real estate transfer. Liability, above all for contaminated land, is extensive which means that a sound knowledge of previous activities is crucial when acquiring companies or real estate.
