John Crossley is the lead practice area leader of the firm's Energy, Infrastructure, and Resources practice. He focuses on advising clients in the development, acquisition, and sale of renewable energy projects across the United States.

John represents both sponsors and financing parties in wind, solar, battery energy storage, carbon capture, hydrogen, and other clean energy infrastructure transactions.

In addition to his core energy practice, John advises clients on the development of data centers, including hyperscale facilities, and other energy-intensive infrastructure. These projects benefit from his combined experience in energy law, real estate, and M&A, allowing him to guide clients through site acquisition and development, leasing, energy procurement, and regulatory strategy for complex infrastructure developments.

With over 20 years of experience, John has worked on billions of dollars in energy and infrastructure projects, delivering tens of gigawatts of power. He understands the challenges and opportunities that come with developing large-scale energy assets and leads teams of experienced attorneys who support clients through every phase of their projects.
