Position
Scott focuses on mergers and acquisitions, power projects, corporate finance, private equity and governance matters, with a particular emphasis on renewable energy. He has extensive experience in a wide variety of domestic and cross-border acquisitions and financings. He has acted as counsel to issuers and underwriters across many sectors, including power, cleantech, alternative energy, oil and gas services, oil and gas exploration and development, high-tech, private equity and financial services.
Scott regularly acts for Independent Power Producers (IPP’s) to bring projects from greenfield opportunities through to their commercial operation date. This requires advice and negotiation on acquisition/disposition agreements, joint venture and partnering agreements, input on regulatory and environmental matters (including bidding into calls for power), oversight of EPC and O&M agreements and project financing involvement.

Lawyer Rankings
Canada > Energy and natural resources > Power
Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP’s power practice has a strong orientation towards projects and transactional mandates, including M&A, joint ventures and financings. Toronto-based department co-head Vivian Kung is particularly sought after for her broad industry focus, which spans projects, finance, corporate and procurement-related issues. The group additionally benefits from the transactional experience of Keith Byblow, who heads the corporate and commercial group in Calgary; Scott Clarke, also based in Calgary; Montreal-based project finance specialist Sébastien Vilder; and Calgary-based up-and-coming energy partner Ky Kvisle. The team is also increasingly involved in standalone regulatory matters, with Calgary-based regulatory and environmental law expert Terri-Lee Oleniuk a key contact in this sphere.
