Led by Geoffroy Berthon, Orrick‘s ’young, talented, dynamic and brilliant‘ team stands out for its advice on public procurement, concessions and PPP contracts relating to some of the most significant energy and infrastructure projects in France. The firm is particularly well regarded for its role in advising the French state on the development and operation of offshore wind farm projects, but also advises public bodies and leading companies and investors across the rail, aviation, telecoms and renewable energy spheres. In addition, the team undertakes a high volume of regulatory work and administrative litigation, and has a growing niche expertise in the negotiation of corporate power purchase agreements. Constance Boillot provides key support.
