When it comes to negotiating a contract, Sabine Christiaens is the most accurate choice.She has an incredible knowledge of the sector, and can go deep into details without losing the general view. She is really agile, and when introducing changes and fixing new requirements, things become much easier with Sabine. In CONCOM we have really appreciated her knowledge. She is very professional and we highly recommend her.

I have worked opposite of Sabine Christiaens in negotiating the EPC contracts and ancillary documents for a 75MW solar project in South Africa, in which she represented one of the financial investors in the project. Sabine Christiaens extremely professional, diligent and has an extensive in depth knowledge of both the commercial, technical and legal side of turnkey contracts within solar. Can truly be recommended. Snorre Valdimarsson General Counsel - Scatec Solar Group
