Our clients benefit from our experience as a top state regulation utility practice. We have represented utilities before state public service commissions in every type of proceeding, and we advise our clients on business strategies to positively affect their operations and transactions.
We have one of the premier state regulation utility practices in the U.S. The firm has represented utilities before state public service commissions since the 1920s in every type of proceeding. Our clients have the unique advantage of working with attorneys who have a proven track record of successfully handling traditional utility cases and the capability to tackle new and emerging utility issues. We offer clients the flexibility to seek advice on individual issues or to fully utilize our attorneys to represent them in cases that most impact their businesses.
Our representation covers the entire range of utility regulation, including the following:
We also provide strategic advice in a variety of renewable areas currently affecting our clients, including net metering, solar-avoided cost, and Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) matters.
We routinely advise utilities in the areas of acquiring additional generation capacity, with particular focus on nuclear, fossil, and renewable generation. We also advise our clients on territorial service matters, transmission and distribution matters, and the development and implementation of demand-side measures and energy efficiency.
We have a long record of successful litigation and trial experience, including significant work in witness preparation and cross-examination of opposing expert witnesses. We have been nationally recognized for our work as advocates before state commissions and the courts. Our strength comes from a group encompassing diverse regulatory backgrounds, including significant experience working within regulatory agencies and legislative bodies. We are not just attorneys to our clients – we are business associates who work with clients from the beginning to the end of a matter.
We serve as counsel in the development and negotiation of requests for proposals (RFPs) for power purchases. This includes extensive experience in the development of and compliance with the state regulatory RFP process, including the negotiating of power purchase and ancillary agreements. We provide ongoing support for contract management of power purchase agreements, including change of control transactions, contract amendments, and amendments to public convenience and necessity certificates.
