Disputes can arise at any time during an energy project—from permitting, approval and financing to procurement and construction and finally, operation or sale.
Allen Matkins attorneys have tried energy cases before courts and juries throughout the United States. As a result, we understand where it is best to litigate a particular dispute and how to make the most effective presentation for the forum in which the case is pending. This knowledge provides our clients a distinct advantage in litigation.
We have handled a broad range of cases, including:
- Renewables and alternative energy projects such as wind, geothermal and bio-fuel
- Conventional projects such as hydroelectric, coal, oil, gas and nuclear
- Transportation and transmission issues for each of these technologies
Our litigators have argued before nearly every type of body that has jurisdiction over energy matters. They have appeared in administrative and regulatory proceedings and have handled both simple and highly complex energy arbitrations.
