We advise on a wide range of utility regulatory issues raised by both national and EU rules.  Our understanding of the technical issues, the procedures of the European institutions and our experience of EU law can give you a significant competitive advantage.  

We understand the close relationship between competition and regulation in utility sectors and the different approaches taken in the different utilities industries.  We have a particularly detailed understanding of the energy sector and the issues raised by the EU's third energy liberalisation package, including transmission unbundling and network codes, and of delivering success in price controls.  We also have extensive experience in the water sector where we have advised on price control reviews and the introduction of competition.

Where necessary, we can help you to ensure that your views are taken into account in the EU legislative process.
