Energy
PROCTOR supports companies in generation (thermal, nuclear and renewable), distribution, supply and trading of electricity and gas. This is the most regulated industry of the economy, with a regulator of its own, the NEURC: licensing, tariff regulation, the electricity market, the "green" tariff, corporate PPAs and investment in renewable energy.
Why PROCTOR
Energy is a market where the rules of the game change faster than investment pays off. PROCTOR combines regulatory expertise (the NEURC, licences, tariffs) with transactional and litigation practice: from the development of solar and wind farms to disputes over imbalances and the protection of investments in arbitration under the Energy Charter.
Our clients receive not an opinion on "how it should be under the law" but a working strategy for the real conditions of the market, taking into account the debts of state-owned enterprises, wartime risks and regulatory practice.

Practices for the industry
The teams of PROCTOR that run matters in this sector.
Banking and finance lawA practice for financial institutions and for businesses that raise finance: credit and security documentation, regulatory compliance with the National Bank of Ukraine, fintech and currency regulation. Positioned on the side of lenders and of the financial sector.
Competition law and government relations (GR)A practice for companies whose main risk comes from the state as regulator: merger clearances and investigations by the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine, support during inspections and defence against administrative pressure, and, as a premium layer on top, influence over the rules of the game through lawmaking and advocacy.
Corporate law and M&AThe flagship transactional practice: the legal foundation for owning, running and selling a business. It covers M&A deals, corporate structuring and the protection of owners' interests, together with adjacent areas - employment relations with staff and senior management, and the personal wealth matters of business owners (private clients).
Dispute resolution and enforcementThe full cycle of protecting a client's interests in a dispute: national courts of every jurisdiction and instance, international commercial and investment arbitration and, above all, turning a judgment won into money actually recovered.
Real estate, construction and landA practice built around the main tangible asset of a business: commercial real estate deals, construction permitting, development projects and the full range of land matters - from the agricultural land market to the land banks of agricultural companies.
Tax practiceA standalone practice with the strongest lead generation potential: protecting a business from additional tax assessments, blocked tax invoices and pressure from the tax authorities, together with the lawful optimisation of the tax burden.
