AI-washing – when AI hype becomes a litigation risk
The Renewables Group at Hogan Lovells draws upon sector knowledge, regulatory insight, and global reach to support clients around the globe. Our team regularly collaborates with clients on their innovative and complex projects, including solar, wind (onshore and off), hydroelectric, geothermal, energy storage, hydrogen, renewable natural gas, biofuels, biomass, waste-to-energy, and other advanced renewable technologies, as well as critical minerals mining and component manufacturing. We bring a cross-discipline approach to the acquisition and financing of renewable assets, project development, project finance, commercial agreements, regulatory advice, permitting, technology licensing, and dispute resolution.
Renewable energy continues to expand rapidly around the world, with new market participants and continued growth predicted in the years ahead. This surge, coupled with increased market competition and new regulatory scrutiny creates new opportunities and fresh challenges for both new and established players. We work with leading renewable energy developers, power and utility companies, equipment suppliers, offtakers, strategic investors, financial institutions (including lenders and investment funds), and governments as the demand for power and efficient infrastructure continues to grow.
