Legal 500 2026

Recommended lawyer for Construction (including construction litigation) - Plant Construction

Scroll to featured award

Niels L. Lange advises national and international clients on industrial plant construction projects as well as infrastructure projects with a focus on energy in Germany and abroad throughout their entire lifecycle.

His particular focus lies on the drafting and negotiation of project agreements (in particular plant construction, supply and service contracts, EPC and EPCM contracts, and FIDIC contracts), as well as supporting his clients during the construction and operation of projects, particularly in the areas of solar energy/PV (ground-mounted and rooftop installations), onshore and offshore wind, battery energy storage systems (BESS), gas-fired power plants (CCGT), and hydrogen or CCS/CCU.

During a secondment with an international wind turbine manufacturer, Niels Lange gained experience on the corporate side and further deepened his sector and industry expertise in the field of renewable energy.
