United States > Energy > Energy transactions: electric power
Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP‘s electric power practice offers a ‘cradle to grave‘ service, spanning project development, tax, transactions and environmental law. The firm has a strong nuclear practice, where its lawyers offer legal advice in all aspects of the nuclear cycle including operational issues, waste management, disposal and decommissioning. Keith Martin, in Washington, DC, is co-head of the projects team, alongside Benjamin Koenigsberg in New York. Todd Alexander represents developers, investors and lenders of infrastructure and other energy-related projects, including solar, wind and hydro. In Austin, Becky Diffen focuses on financings, joint ventures, project development and tax equity of renewable energy, energy storage, power generation and transmission projects.
United States > Energy > Renewable/alternative power
The renewables offering at Norton Rose Fulbright is jointly led by US projects team co-heads Keith Martin in Washington DC and Benjamin Koenigsberg in New York, and has a strong track record advising clients on complex and high-value project financing issues, including the formation of joint ventures and the whole range of tax equity matters. Martin has complementary experience lobbying both Congress and the Treasury Department on renewable energy matters, while Koenigsberg’s practice focuses on offshore wind. New York-based Todd Alexander acts for lenders and developers involved in projects from wind and solar to biomass, biofuel, and clean coal. The team also includes regulatory specialists Caileen Kateri Gamache in Houston and Robert Shapiro in Washington DC, while Becky Diffen in Austin stands out for her M&A work in the sector. The firm’s reach was further extended with the opening of an office in Chicago, where Sameer A. Ghaznavi, who arrived from DLA Piper LLP (US) in February 2022, is noted for his expertise in the development, acquisition and sale of energy and infrastructure projects. Another notable arrival in 2022 is Washington-based tax lawyer Hilary Lefko from Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP. Robert Eberhardt and Ikenna Emehelu, both based in New York, left the team in 2022.
