Changes to the legal and economic parameters of the renewable energy sector can lead to plants becoming unprofitable. Delays in construction give rise to claims. Legal interventions that curtail business operations lead to financial losses. We support both plaintiffs and defendants in our capacity as technical and commercial experts.
If investments are no longer economically viable, we will provide support with an appropriate assessment and “damage limitation”. It is often about marketing under “as-if conditions”. Quantitative methods can be used to simulate the operation of power plants, for example.
In the event of contractual and regulatory disputes, we can demonstrate whether and to what extent a product or system has complied with stipulated specifications, or would have complied with them in a given scenario.
Our project experience enables us to use benchmarks to demonstrate whether costs or revenues are within an expected range and to what extent any deviations are attributable to technical factors.
We are very familiar with the practices of arbitration and co-operation with lawyers. We present our opinions, expert reports and responses in a focused and concise manner, and provide reliable evidence.
Our experts appear in person in courts in Germany and abroad to respond to questions. We support our clients with the customary expert reports prepared jointly with the other party and with out-of-court settlements.
