One step ahead Poland: Acquiring energy and infrastructure projects

Episode 2: Energy and infrastructure acquisitions sit at the intersection of regulatory complexity, competing stakeholder interests, and long-horizon risk. Getting the deal right demands a clear understanding of how those forces interact from the earliest stages of a transaction.  What are the defining risks in an energy project acquisition? How do regulatory requirements shape deal structure? And what does experience across decades of energy transactions tell us about where these deals succeed or break down?  Kamil Jankiewicz, head of the Warsaw Energy practice at A&O Shearman examines the risk factors, stakeholder dynamics, and regulatory frameworks that determine the outcome of these transactions. His practice spans the full project lifecycle across both conventional and renewable energy sectors. Listeners working in energy, infrastructure, or project finance will leave with a sharper framework for assessing acquisition risk in this space.  Note: This episode is conducted in Polish.  One Step Ahead is an extension of A&O Shearman's long-running seminar series of the same name.
