We offer counsel on cutting-edge market trends, including finance and tax matters, as well as support our clients’ interests in energy litigation. Additionally, our extensive experience extends to virtually all types of energy projects, including conventional fossil-fueled, gas- and coal-fired, combined-heat-and-power, renewable and alternative energy, and nuclear generating plants. We are also well versed in assisting on transmission, oil and gas pipelines, and gas storage facilities.
