Overview
Nutter has energy attorneys that represent utility and energy companies in numerous areas of legal practice. Our clients include producers and distributors of petroleum and natural gas, public utility providers, including electric, water and transportation companies, power generation plants, municipalities, developers, contractors, financial institutions, private equity firms, and energy traders. Our expertise includes:
Permitting and Licensing
The firm represents energy clients before local, state, and regional authorities to obtain permits and licenses for complex, and, at times, controversial projects. With significant expertise in real estate development, financing, litigation, as well as environmental, zoning, and land use issues, we help our clients initiate development, access financing, and move projects toward completion.
Labor and Employment
We work with energy and power generation companies on a range of labor and employment matters, including union negotiations, employee benefit advice, and labor disputes in state and federal courts.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Our energy attorneys advise clients involved in mergers and acquisitions, including the purchase and sale of power plants and acquisitions involving energy-related products. Our work includes performing due diligence, reviewing and obtaining regulatory approvals, and negotiating the purchase and sale agreements.
Enforcement and Compliance
We represent energy companies and traders in enforcement, audit, and compliance matters before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) involving allegations of market manipulation in natural gas and wholesale electricity markets.
