Comprehensive legal advice for ecological transformation
Ecological transformation and decarbonisation are a binding framework of action for business, the public sector and the financial world. They require far-reaching legal, economic and strategic adjustments. The transition to a greenhouse gas-neutral economy is no longer a distant goal, but influences investments, processes and daily decisions in companies, administrations and financial institutions. European and national law provide clear guidelines, while special funds and subsidy programmes signal investment security. Those who act early secure regulatory advantages, benefit from subsidies and position themselves as responsible and forward-looking players in the competitive arena.
Our law firm supports companies, banks, property developers, energy suppliers and public institutions in implementing this transformation – in a legally compliant, interdisciplinary and practical manner.
Your partner for decarbonisation: legal, economic, strategic
The transformation affects all levels: energy supply, supply chains, procurement, corporate governance, human resources policy and remuneration structures. We offer full-service legal advice in all relevant areas of law – tailored to the complex requirements of ecological transformation.

Decarbonisation in practice: identifying challenges, designing solutions
The ecological transformation poses key challenges for companies and institutions:
- Financing: High investment requirements with limited subsidy programmes – green financial instruments, partnerships and innovative financing models are becoming crucial.
- Technology: New technologies are often still in development; pressure to innovate and the need to adapt are increasing.
- Legal: Dynamic EU and national regulations are profoundly changing markets; case law such as the Federal Constitutional Court's climate decision are increasing the pressure to act.
- Expectations: Investors, customers and employees expect transparent reliability strategies; greenwashing risks and climate lawsuits are on the rise.
Climate neutrality as a competitive advantage
Ecological transformation opens up enormous potential. Companies and jurisdictions that actively shape change benefit from:
- The development of new markets and innovative business models
- Better financing conditions and easier access to the capital market
- Innovation leadership and strong employer branding
- Strengthened trust among investors, customers and employees
The key is legally compliant, economically viable and future-oriented implementation. Together with you, our law firm develops strategies that make climate neutrality the key to your competitiveness and future viability.
