Profile

Tobias is a German lawyer specialising in energy law. His professional career began in early 2011 in White & Case's Duesseldorf energy law team. He joined Heuking Kuehn Lueer Wojtek in January 2017.

Tobias advises German and international energy suppliers, power plant operators, grid operators, investors and project developers as well as companies in the energy-intensive industry, operators of commercial real estate and other large energy consumers. His advisory focus are the European and German regulation of the energy sector, energy trading and energy supply contracts (e.g. financial and physical OTC-agreements, Corporate PPAs) and the European and German emissions trading systems (EU ETS and German national ETS). Moreover, Tobias has broad experience with regard to renewable energies and the legal framework for their promotion under the German Renewable Energy Act (EEG) as well as with respect to new technologies in the energy sector (e.g. e-mobility, power storages) and energy compliance (e.g. REMIT and transparency regulation). Tobias regularly advises on projects and M&A transactions in the energy sector.
