Energy Tax

As the traditional and renewable energy sectors continue to evolve, stakeholders can benefit from attorneys who understand the unique opportunities and risks they face. Our team offers deep transactional, counseling, and regulatory experience to help clients as they grow their businesses and overcome challenges. 

Our energy tax attorneys work with tax equity investors, lenders, and project developers and sponsors ─ including regulated utilities and their unregulated affiliates ─ in a wide range of tax issues. We represent clients who develop, acquire, invest in, own, or operate renewable energy projects, including wind, solar, geothermal, waste-to-energy, biomass, hydroelectric, and other renewable energy generation facilities; natural gas projects, including renewable natural gas; nuclear projects; energy storage facilities; electric vehicle charging and other alternative fuel refueling facilities; and carbon capture and sequestration facilities. Our team also works with buyers and sellers in connection with the purchase and sale of renewable energy projects, including early- and late-stage development projects, as well as operational projects.

Clients benefit from our extensive experience as they seek federal, state, and local tax incentives, including the ITC, PTC, bonus depreciation, and state and local tax incentives across the U.S. We help our clients develop, implement, diligence, and evaluate strategies to maximize tax credits. Sponsors and investors work with us to structure and negotiate transactions that maximize the value of federal tax incentives, including partnership flips, sale-leasebacks, and inverted leases. We also advise sponsors, investors, and lenders in connection with debt investments in tax equity structures, including back-leverage, project-level debt, and portfolio debt structures.

Our utility tax attorneys work with clients in regulated industries on a range of tax issues ─ from planning, counseling, and transaction support to tax controversies and dispute resolution. We advise regulated utilities and their unregulated affiliates on tax issues in connection with the acquisition, ownership, operation, and disposition of energy projects across all technologies, including renewable energy generation, nuclear facilities, and electric transmission projects.
