In a recent development, Kilpatrick has announced the recruitment of John Pierce. He is joining as a partner and will become a member of the energy practice at their Seattle, Washington office, as mentioned in their press release.
Previously a part of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, Pierce’s professional portfolio comprises structuring, development, and financing of energy and infrastructure projects. His client representations often include power generation projects. In addition, his work also involves dealing with carbon mitigating credits, offsets, and trading structures, as well as the creation and application of carbon trading protocols and markets.
As we continue to witness shifts in the energy sector worldwide, Pierce’s skill set could prove essential in navigating the complex legal challenges surrounding renewable energy sources, carbon credits, and climate change policies. His addition to the Kilpatrick team not only strengthens their energy practice but also contributes to their readiness in dealing with emerging environmental and energy laws.
