About

Provided by Baker Botts L.L.P.

Baker Botts’ Energy Regulatory Practice extends to all aspects of federal and state regulation. In power markets we represent utilities, merchant generators, renewable energy developers, new market entrants, emerging technology developers and electricity consumers. In oil and gas markets,

we counsel producers, shippers, midstream operators and transporters, distributors and consumers. We advise and represent producers, distributors, and consumers of energy in all its forms, and counsel those developing infrastructure or other energy projects as well as those investing in or

lending to the energy sector.


Our lawyers practice before a variety of federal and state agencies that regulate energy markets and clients. They also routinely deal with other agencies that affect energy projects and facilities. Baker Botts regulatory lawyers also handle civil litigation related to federal and state regulatory issues and

appellate cases arising from review of both lower court decisions and agency orders.
