Washington

As with the Nationwide chapter, state-level Energy sections cover the corporate, commercial and regulatory issues arising from the energy sector. This includes the regulatory components of M&A and other transactional work as well as pure regulatory work related to the application for licenses and compliance. Contentious matters are also considered here, including enforcement actions, government investigations and rate disputes. These chapters focus on state-level representation; federal-level work is mostly considered in the nationwide chapter.
