Alternative Energy
Baker Botts combines its in depth knowledge of the energy business, its deep experience in development of sophisticated energy projects, and its considerable experience with wind, biomass and solar projects to create a team of lawyers capable of guiding clients through the political, economic and legal risks associated with developing alternative energy technologies into viable commercial projects. Additionally, Baker Botts has sophisticated commercial lawyers and intellectual property lawyers who are able to work together to take new CleanTech and GreenTech ideas from creation to financing to market.
Power
Transactions involving the electric power industry have been a core competence of Baker Botts for over 100 years. During that time, much of the worldwide power industry has been deregulated and privatized. Today, growing concerns about global warming promise even greater changes – more renewable generation, carbon abatement transactions and projects, and implementation of smart grid technologies. We understand the commercial and regulatory implications of these trends, and help our clients succeed in all aspects of this dynamic industry. Our clients cover the spectrum of participants in the power industry in virtually all types of relevant transactions, projects, and regulatory proceedings, including project development, project finance, permit and rate cases, and acquisitions and divestitures.
