Our dedicated projects & energy transition lawyers are supported by colleagues in offices worldwide in practices including land use and environmental, real estate, tax and regulatory. We assist clients in practical matters including securing sites, entering into equipment procurement and construction contracts (EPC), and negotiating power purchase agreements, sales agreements and other off-take arrangements.

Our projects & energy transition lawyers call upon colleagues in our regulatory practice—a number of whom are former lawyers at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)—to assist in due diligence for and documentation of major energy purchase and sale, merger and investment transactions. We draw upon this government experience to secure all required FERC and other federal and state regulatory approvals.
