Anatomy of Renewables Energy M&A - Navigating Legal Complexity in a Shifting Market

Introduction

M&A follows a standard blueprint globally, whether it is structured as an auction or a bilateral process. From a seller’s perspective the aims are price and transaction certainty, from a buyer’s perspective it is about understanding and mitigating risk. Still, buyers often overpay, business plans fall short, synergies fail to materialise and skeletons remain in the closet.

An Energy project is often a single asset transaction where any of the above could prove fatal. For this reason, a more targeted and detailed approach is required to ensure success. This webinar will focus on practical steps that M&A teams can take to understand and manage risk and to get to a successful closing.
