Energy Transition

Troutman Pepper Locke offers a solution‑oriented and nationally recognized energy transition team that guides clients through their most important and complex matters in the U.S. and abroad. Building on decades of leadership in traditional energy, a dynamic renewable energy practice, and a strong private equity and venture capital platform, we support companies across the energy value chain as they navigate shifting markets, regulation, and technology.

Our cross‑disciplinary lawyers handle project development and finance (including tax equity and debt, syndicated and single‑lender facilities, leveraged and acquisition financings, and mezzanine and high‑yield structures), M&A and joint ventures, commercial and operational agreements, tax, capital markets, and real estate. We pair comprehensive federal and state regulatory capabilities with leading litigation experience in investigations, administrative hearings, arbitrations, lawsuits, appeals, and complex disputes involving environmental issues, joint ventures, pipelines, and regulatory matters.

From established sectors such as biofuels, solar, storage, and midstream infrastructure to emerging areas like hydrogen and carbon capture, our team offers informed, strategic guidance. We also bring a robust infrastructure practice across energy projects, transportation, water, and storage/terminaling assets, providing an integrated approach to help clients finance, build, and operate the next generation of energy infrastructure.
