Electromobility

CCLaw. attorneys are one of the most experienced teams providing legal services in the e-mobility sector.

Practice always precedes legal regulations. This was also the case here. The Act on Electromobility and Alternative Fuels – the primary legal act regulating e-mobility in Poland – was adopted on 11 January 2018. As a law firm, we analyzed for our clients, including for the company that now owns the largest network of charging stations in Poland, the possibility of providing charging services as early as in 2017. Subsequently, we had the pleasure of reviewing draft laws on electromobility for one of the largest entities in the automotive market in Poland and Europe. We are one of the most experienced groups of lawyers in terms of legal aspects of electromobility.
