For the third year in a row, our international Energy & Infrastructure team has improved its ranking in the Clean Energy League Tables. Our team ranked fourth in the M&A deals category (by number of transactions), while we also secured a place in the top 20 in the project finance category; this builds upon our top 10 rankings in these categories since 2019.

Our Energy & Infrastructure team's continued improvement in the Clean Energy League Tables rankings is a testament to the way we collaborate with high-profile clients across jurisdictions. It also highlights that our legal experts and their cross-border expertise remain among the benchmark legal advisers for clean energy.

Carsten Bartholl, partner and head of the international Energy & Infrastructure team commented, "The past year has gone very well for our international Energy & Infrastructure team despite coronavirus-related difficulties. Together, we were again very successful for our clients on clean energy projects, not only in Europe, but also on deals in Australia, the US, Africa and the South Pacific."
