The energy sector covers a wide range of highly intertwined activities. Some of them share the same market or value chain, others are in direct competition with each other. Even in competing areas there is a considerable degree of coherence, as technology becomes increasingly important in exploration, exploitation, and distribution. Moreover, alternative resources of energy turn out to become viable alternatives; they constitute more and more a significant element of this complex industry. Most companies within the energy sector operate internationally. One company seeks low-wage countries, whereas others wish to expand their markets, try to ensure their future supplies, or want to use foreign R&D. Nothing in the energy sector is standard; everything is out of the ordinary and requires specific solutions. The energy industry develops at an increasing rate, often faster than legislation.

The VMW Energy team comprises four areas: Oil & Gas, Electricity, Alternative Resources/Renewables, and Suppliers & Contractors. Our specialists cover a wide range of disciplines, such as tax law, commercial/contract law, labor law, intellectual property law, liability and insurance law. Together, these areas and specialists offer a seamless service, in which our clients can rely on a broad and in-depth knowledge of the industry. They can also rely on consistency and reliability of our service, as well as on the feasibility and quality of our products.

And so, we foster a common conviction that we provide the best, the most pragmatic and most effective legal and tax solutions to our clients. We contribute to dynamic business operations, emerging developments, or innovative solutions. Energy is high on the political agenda and government influence is embedded in many areas within the energy sector. We are well-informed as far as these regulated markets are concerned. Continuous investment here is one of our primary focuses.
