Energy Development

Our energy practice covers the full project lifecycle, from early-stage site control through development, financing, construction, and operations for projects of all sizes, including utility, community solar and C&I rooftop projects. We have deep roots in renewable and alternative energy — wind, solar, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and thermal developments — and we understand the intersection of energy law, real estate law, and construction law that these projects require. Our clients have hired us for projects across the country.

We also understand debt and equity financings and project acquisitions and dispositions, so we know how to analyze projects with an eye toward how lenders, tax equity investors, purchasers and offtakers think about risk. That perspective matters when we’re negotiating on your behalf, because the best outcome isn’t just a document that protects you — it’s one that moves a project toward financial close or sale.
