LE­BUHN & PUCH­TA ad­vi­ses busi­nesses on le­gal is­sues in the field of re­ne­wa­ble en­er­gy and wi­th re­gard to off­shore pro­jects in ca­ses in­vol­ving ma­ri­ne ca­su­al­ties, other pro­per­ty and en­vi­ron­men­tal da­ma­ge or war­ran­ty is­sues.

In the off­shore field, we have par­ti­cu­lar ex­per­ti­se of the le­gal is­sues ari­sing in con­nec­tion wi­th the in­stal­la­ti­on and ope­ra­ti­on (O&M) of wind tur­bi­ne ge­ne­ra­tors. Our work al­so ex­tends to pho­to­vol­taic and onshore wind farms, bio­mass-en­er­gy and sto­rage sys­tems. Our firm has par­ti­cu­lar know­ledge and ex­pe­ri­ence of the plan­ning and in­vest­ment risks re­la­ted to off­shore fa­ci­li­ties and wi­th re­gard to is­sues of en­vi­ron­men­tal and pro­duct lia­bi­li­ty.

We ad­vi­se busi­nesses on le­gal is­sues re­la­ting to ship­buil­ding and the con­s­truc­tion of ma­ri­ne and off­shore fa­ci­li­ties, trans­for­mer sub­sta­ti­ons and sub­ma­ri­ne ca­ble-lay­ing, or to me­cha­ni­cal en­gi­nee­ring. This strong fo­cus en­ables us to ad­vi­se our cli­ents th­roug­hout off­shore or ne­ar-shore wind farm plan­ning, con­s­truc­tion and ope­ra­ti­on pha­ses, in­clu­ding the con­trol­ling and hand­ling of de­fi­ci­en­ci­es in per­for­mance. For ma­ny ye­ars our cli­ents have be­ne­fi­ted in the­se are­as from our ex­ten­si­ve know­ledge of the in­dus­try as well as from our spe­cia­list le­gal and tech­ni­cal know­ledge.

Whe­re ma­ri­ti­me con­s­truc­tion law dis­pu­tes ari­se, for ex­am­p­le in­vol­ving phy­si­cal de­fects, war­ran­ty is­sues, de­lay or im­pe­di­ments to de­li­very, we re­pre­sent our cli­ents be­fo­re the or­di­na­ry courts of law and in bo­th na­tio­nal and in­ter­na­tio­nal ar­bi­tra­ti­on pro­cee­dings. Our la­wy­ers are fre­quent­ly cal­led upon to act in ar­bi­tra­ti­on pro­cee­dings as ar­bi­tra­tors, ad­ju­di­ca­tors, or le­gal ex­perts.

Our ex­per­ti­se al­so ex­tends to the struc­tu­ring of joint ven­tures and equi­ty-fun­ded in­vest­ment ve­hic­les.
