Clark Hill provides strategic legal counsel on energy transactions and project finance across the full spectrum of traditional and emerging energy assets. The firm advises developers, owners, investors, lenders, utilities, and energy consumers on structuring, negotiating, and closing complex transactions in highly regulated and capital-intensive markets.
Our Energy Transactions team combines deep industry knowledge with practical deal experience to support acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, and financings involving renewable energy, conventional power generation, natural gas and LNG infrastructure, energy storage, and distributed energy resources. We understand how regulatory requirements, tax incentives, and market dynamics intersect with commercial objectives—and we structure transactions accordingly.
Clark Hill regularly advises on:
- Mergers and acquisitions of energy companies and assets
- Project finance, including construction, term debt, tax equity, and hybrid financing structures
- Power purchase agreements (PPAs), virtual PPAs, and other offtake arrangements
- EPC contracts, O&M agreements, fuel supply agreements, and interconnection agreements
- Portfolio transactions involving multiple energy assets or technologies
Our integrated approach allows clients to move efficiently from development to financing to operation while managing regulatory risk and aligning legal strategy with long-term investment goals. Whether supporting a single-asset transaction or a multi-jurisdictional energy portfolio, Clark Hill delivers commercially focused solutions that help clients close deals and deploy capital with confidence.
