From acquisition to development, construction, and operation, we help clients navigate the regulatory hurdles to energy projects and litigate disputes at every stage of the process. We also draw upon our successful experience in commercial, securities, environmental, and land‐use litigation to provide comprehensive service. Knowing the unique opportunities and challenges in the renewable‐energy industry, we will work to understand your goals, provide sound advice, and collaborate on pragmatic solutions that ensure your energy projects thrive.
