We have substantial experience in all areas of power plant development and financing, transmission development, financing and service; power and natural gas purchases, transactions, documentation and trading; restructuring; deregulation; resource planning; energy conservation; and oil and natural gas storage. Our attorneys regularly negotiate, advise and consult on generation projects, transmission projects, power purchase transactions, fuel conversion and fuel contracts, interconnection agreements involving access and pricing issues, construction contracts and public bidding requirements, and water use agreements.

We also advise on environmental and land use controls and regulation for both pending developments and day-to-day interaction with federal, state and local regulators. We routinely advise clients on oil and hazardous materials contamination; the management of solid and hazardous wastes; federal waterways issues; state and local wetlands requirements; Clean Water Act requirements including requirements and permitting for pre-treatment and discharge; Clean Air Act requirements and permitting; and Federal and State Environmental Policy Act requirements.

We litigate and advocate before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, state regulatory commissions, local administrative bodies, federal and state courts. We coordinate consultants and engineers and fully participate in all permitting, siting and rate setting proceedings. We represent and advise power plant developers and owners; transmission companies; public power entities and other wholesale purchasers of power and natural gas; and end-use consumers of power and natural gas.

We know energy law.
