Career

Bruce F. Johnson focuses his practice on real estate and commercial finance and investment transactions, and on the development and financing of energy generation and transmission projects.

Bruce frequently represents developers, investors, and lenders in development, financing and M&A transactions involving energy generation and transmission projects, including solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and other types of renewable energy facilities. He often employs his real estate experience to advise energy project participants in connection with site control issues, including ground leasing and property acquisition transactions, transmission and access easements, co-tenancy arrangements, title insurance issues and related aspects of site control in financing transactions.

The team is also well positioned to act for investors in the acquisition and sale of renewable projects encompassing a wide range of technologies, including solar, offshore and onshore wind, biogas, biodiesel, geothermal electric generation and hydroelectric facilities.
