Expertise that spans all modes of electric transport
We support clients developing and delivering e-mobility solutions. This includes providing advice around electric vehicle charging infrastructure, grid connections, smart grids, battery storage, and the technology and intellectual property that unpins the e-mobility ecosystem.
Most law firms look at e-mobility through a single lens. We don’t. We recognise that understanding this industry requires a real knowledge of how areas, such as mobility, energy and digital infrastructure and connections, power management systems, software, data and payments solutions, interact – and we're experts in all of these areas, allowing us to provide holistic, project focused, commercial advice.
How we can help you
We've built our knowledge and expertise in electric transport by working with a wide range of industry clients, from established operators to some of the most cutting-edge tech businesses currently influencing the international e-mobility sector. We're working with clients across all modes of transport. Whether it is electric vehicles, e-bikes, e-scooters or electric trains, we have it covered.
Our work for clients includes advising on:
- electric vehicle charging infrastructure (EVCI) transactions and projects, including procurement, tax, infrastructure, planning and grid connection advice;
- technology and intellectual property that underpins and supports the e-mobility ecosystem, including payments, data, digital regulation and mobility as a service (MaaS);
- energy regulation and battery storage solutions; and
- product liability and safety issues.
Our e-mobility lawyers
The technology being developed in e-mobility cuts across geographic borders and so do we. With teams on the ground across Europe, Asia and the US, we’re plugged into the right innovation hubs, applying our legal expertise to technologies that disrupt and challenge the laws that govern it.
