Werner Runge is a leading authority on project finance, circularity, and the Dutch energy transition. As a former partner at A&O Shearman, he was at the forefront of developing project finance and PPP in the Netherlands. Throughout his career, he has advised on virtually every major onshore and offshore project, alongside numerous high-profile transactions ranging from wind farms to complex REF deals.
As an innovative thinker, Werner now also focuses on removing legal barriers within the circular (sharing) economy, with a particular emphasis on product-as-a-service models. He is the pioneer in the Netherlands of innovative contractual structures such as ‘non-rem financing’ (opstalloos financieren) for rooftop solar. His unique combination of decades of market experience and a pioneering spirit makes him a strategic heavyweight within the Mobius team.
Werner is featured in the prestigious Legal 500 Hall of Fame for Project Finance and PFI and is designated as a Market Leader by IFLR1000. Furthermore, for many years, Chambers has recognized him with a Band 1 ranking and the distinguished title of Senior Statesman for Project Finance.
