pswp and Renzenbrink successfully represent Hochtief in Europe’s largest lithium project

Black-and-white close-up of shiny lithium ore rocks; overlaid with a yellow geometric outline and the text: "pswp and Renzenbrink successfully represent Hochtief in Europe’s largest lithium project".

Together with Renzenbrink & Partner, we advised Hochtief on what is currently the most significant lithium project in Europe. The complex mining project in the Upper Rhine Graben, including a processing plant, will in future produce 24,000 tonnes of battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate per year — enough for around 500,000 electric vehicles. The project represents a key milestone for e-mobility and for the raw-material sovereignty of Germany and Europe.

Renzenbrink & Partner acted as lead counsel alongside Hochtief. Our team — Niclas Hellermann, Justus Quecke and Benjamin Nußberger — advised HOCHTIEF on regulatory matters, in particular mining law.

We would like to thank everyone involved for the excellent cooperation on this future-oriented project!
