We advise on utility-scale and behind-the-meter solar, battery storage, wind, geothermal, biomass, carbon capture, and other renewable and low-carbon technologies.
We are at the forefront of legal innovation in this sector, helping clients navigate a rapidly changing regulatory landscape that often dictates key commercial terms and risk allocation. Drawing on our work for many of the sector’s leading players, we focus on results-driven, practical advice that enables clients to thrive in a rapidly expanding and fiercely competitive market.
We bring market-tested insights from advising owners, developers, equipment suppliers, contractors, lenders, and tax equity investors. We regularly draft and negotiate the full suite of project development, construction, and offtake agreements for projects ranging in size from 1 MW to the largest wind and solar projects in the United States. We routinely work on the development of multi-phase co-located projects that share real estate and common infrastructure. Our familiarity with the technical and commercial considerations in this market enables precise risk allocation, contract drafting, and fewer disputes.
For clients with commercial and industrial facilities, we negotiate site and equipment leases for on-site projects that sell output to the facility and to the grid.
We also handle the full range of energy transactional work, including M&A, joint ventures, and project finance for projects at all stages of development and operation.
In addition, we frequently act as project counsel during project execution, helping clients manage claims, change orders, schedule, quality and performance issues, and other day-to-day project risks. When disputes arise, we represent owners, developers, contractors, suppliers, investors, and lenders in domestic and international arbitration, litigation, mediation, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. Our integrated project development and disputes experience allows us to align strategy with the underlying commercial objectives of each project.
