Energy Law Expansion: Firms Capitalize on Demand Amid Renewable Shift

In a time where large law firms remain cautious about broad deals, they continue to expand their expertise in the energy domain, a sector turbocharged by recent federal investment and a shift towards renewable energy. According to The American Lawyer, one such firm taking a step to empower its capabilities further in this sector is Willkie Farr & Gallagher. This week, they announced the addition of a three-partner energy transactions team from Mayer Brown, significantly bolstering their capacity to navigate the complex world of energy transactions.

Eric Pogue comments on the pivotal shifts in the energy industry and the beneficial implications for their legal practice. “We are seeing big developments in the industry overall related to energy transition and others, and this has brought increasing demand from clients and also new opportunities for us to expand our practices.”
