„The requirements associated with the energy transition are complex and always have an impact on the respective business activities. Successful energy law advice therefore requires a close look at the economic implications.”
Heiko Lange is a lawyer and founding partner of Aecoute. He specialises in advising companies on energy law, with a clear focus on the business context and the entrepreneurial success of his clients.
Heiko Lange began his career on the high seas — as a seaman in merchant shipping in the GDR and later as a police officer with the Water Police of Schleswig-Holstein. The legal training he received as a police officer led him to study law and then to the legal profession, which he sees as a way of helping clients even in troubled waters.
After working for the Berlin Court of Appeal and a civil law firm, Heiko Lange decided to join Becker Büttner Held (BBH), a law firm specialising in energy law, in 2006. He advises companies in administrative and judicial proceedings as well as in bilateral contract negotiations. In particular, he assists electricity and gas network operators with the complex requirements of network tariff regulation. He is involved in a large number of proceedings concerning the takeover of electricity and gas supply networks and deals, among other things, with the economic effects of legal standards.
For Heiko Lange, legal advice is always based on knowledge of specific economic contexts — an open and trusting dialogue with his clients is therefore the basis of his work.
