Energy Transactions

Overview

We partner with commercial, industrial, and government entities to plan and execute purchase and sale agreements for power, liquid fuel, natural gas, electric, and other energy commodity projects and facilities. We draft and negotiate long-term power purchase agreements to finance electric-generating facilities, negotiate bilateral wholesale and retail contracts, and counsel clients in connection with taxable and tax-exempt, rated and unrated, and registered and unregistered financings, credit enhancements, and tax credit structures. We also represent companies across the energy spectrum in corporate finance, public securities, mergers and acquisitions, project development, and joint venture transactions. We have pioneered efforts in the pooled origination, financing, and securitization of clean energy project portfolios and have a strong track record in the development, finance, and operations of smart grid and microgrid technologies. From traditional power sources to emerging clean technology, we deliver business-minded transactional counsel that is responsive to regulatory and market trends.
