"We are proud we had the chance to contribute to making this deal happen," said Schoenherr și Asociații SCA local partner Monica Cojocaru, who led the team advising on this matter. "We were familiar with the project for sale, as we advised Samsung C&T Corporation on its acquisition ten years ago, as well as on the financing, development and operation of the solar PV power plant. The transaction successfully completes our full-service legal advice to the client in connection with this renewable energy investment."

Samsung C&T Corporation is a multi-business company consisting of four independent business groups: Engineering & Construction, Trading & Investment, Fashion and Resort. The Trading & Investment group operates in renewable energy (wind, solar PV) to meet the global need for energy diversification.
