Our energy attorneys represent a wide range of participants in the energy sector, including municipal utility systems and joint action agencies; electric cooperatives; local gas distribution companies; oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas producers; investor-owned natural gas systems; hydropower licensees and license applicants; renewable energy companies; large industrial users and other purchasers of electricity on a broad spectrum of regulatory and commercial issues.

We regularly appear before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Federal Courts of Appeals, and state commissions. We also advise on FERC requirements and regulations; compliance programs and guidelines; FERC and North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) audits and investigations; energy market design issues; strategic transactions; FERC licensing and relicensing processes and the corresponding state and federal resource agencies’ processes for hydropower facilities; as well as on ongoing changes to the industry.

We have decades of combined experience representing utility and non-utility parties in formal adjudications before federal and state regulatory commissions and courts. We bring a deep understanding of the industry and how energy markets work. Our team provides interdisciplinary legal services to a variety of suppliers and purchasers, including municipal utilities, electric cooperatives, local gas distribution companies, and hydropower licensees.
