For its work on a deal to build and operate a high-power charging network in Italy, which will strategically contribute to improvements in green transportation, Dentons was awarded “Deal of the Year” for sustainability at the Legalcommunity Corporate Awards 2022 on June 16, 2022 in Milan.

Dentons advised Volkswagen on all aspects of antitrust and merger-control law in connection with the formation of a joint-venture with Italian energy supplier Enel X.

The jury noted that the deal’s contribution to the strategic operation of e-mobility in Italy and Europe aimed at facilitating the energy transition through the electrification of transport was what drove their decision.

In addition to the Dentons team, the award went to all the law firms involved in the deal as well as the client’s in-house legal teams.
