Horizons Alliance has appointed HKV Law Partner Martin Kluch as the new Head of CEE Energy and Infrastructure Practice Group with Erdos Partners Partner Balazs Varszeghi serving as Deputy Head.
Martin Kluch has been a Partner with HKV Law since 2006. Earlier, he worked for White & Case between 2000 and 2006 as a Senior Associate and, earlier still, for Arthur Andersen as an Associate between 1999 and 2000.
"The Central and Eastern European energy market is undergoing a rapid and complex transformation, driven by the urgent need for energy security and decarbonization," said Kluch. "Geopolitical shifts have accelerated the region's diversification away from traditional fossil fuel dependencies, leading to a surge in renewable energy deployment, significant infrastructure development for alternative supply routes, and a renewed focus on nuclear energy. The EU's Green Deal and its regulatory framework are further shaping this landscape, creating a dynamic legal environment for investments in sustainable finance and cross-border energy projects. Our alliance, with offices strategically located across significant CEE jurisdictions, is agreeably positioned to serve our clients' evolving needs, providing expert legal counsel on regulatory compliance, project development, and complex energy transactions throughout the region."
