About

Provided by Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP

Our team serves the electric power sector (conventional, nuclear, renewable, including wind and solar, and transmission), the oil and gas sector (upstream, midstream, and liquefied natural gas, refining, and petrochemicals), the water industry, and financial institutions, investment funds, project developers, state-owned enterprises, and public-private partnerships in the energy sector.

Morgan Lewis lawyers also have experience addressing and resolving the most complex energy regulatory issues across all spectra of the energy universe. By way of example, in the nuclear energy arena we helped obtain the first design certification, early site permit, and combined nuclear operating license ever issued in the United States and continue to address daily ongoing operational issues across the current US fleet of commercial reactors. Our distinguished electric energy lawyers help clients anticipate and negotiate complex regulatory issues in the areas of compliance and enforcement, audits and investigations, regional markets, reliability and cybersecurity, and corporate restructuring alternatives.
