A CMS team in Vienna advised PÜSPÖK, a leading Austrian family-owned company in the renewable energy sector, on the acquisition of the EIA approved Bärofen wind power project in Lavanttal from ECOwind.

We are pleased to be involved in this important phase of PÜSPÖK's development. The acquisition of  the Bärofen wind power project is an important step towards a sustainable energy future for Carinthia and Austria

said Günther Hanslik, managing partner and attorney-at-law for banking and finance at 
CMS. Christoph Birner, attorney-at-law at CMS and member of the advisory team, adds:
