With leading real estate, energy, environmental, construction, and tax attorneys strategically located across the country, we have the right team to handle the entire solar development project, from dirt to done.
Our multidisciplinary team helps solar development innovators, real estate developers, landowners, and building owners take their renewable energy plans from concept to grid connection. We lead negotiations and help solve problems at every step—drafting complex contracts, navigating financing options, identifying applicable tax incentives, ensuring compliance with environmental and energy regulations, and everything in between—so clients can focus on growing their businesses and achieving their energy efficiency goals.
Real Estate
Our attorneys are highly experienced in counseling developers, contractors, investment management firms, and other industry players on the full range of real estate transactions for all types of solar projects. From financings and development to site leasing and property management, we understand the full range of real estate needs for any solar project and know how the pieces fit together to make a project go.
Construction
With a deep appreciation for the challenges inherent in construction, we guide developers, architects, engineers, and contractors through every stage in the life cycle of their projects. We draft, review, and negotiate virtually every type of construction agreement, emphasizing risk mitigation through the agreement terms and the key development milestones for each solar project.
Land Use, Permitting, and Zoning
Building on our strong relationships with local, state, and federal governments, our land use attorneys help clients secure approvals and expedite the completion of projects throughout the country. We combine legislative, administrative, and regulatory knowledge to help clients secure special permits, zoning variances, authorizations and certifications, and other approvals and entitlements.
Environmental
Drawing from our vast experience navigating federal, state, and local environmental laws, we recognize that such regulations can significantly delay projects or prevent them from getting off the ground. Our attorneys manage land use and environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and related state regulations, like the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), as well as federal and state special-purpose laws related to species, historic properties, and other resources. Many of our environmental lawyers have deep experience with renewable energy projects. We also complete environmental due diligence, including with respect to renewable development projects on historically contaminated land.
Tax
Our attorneys are attuned to the latest changes in federal and state solar energy financial incentives and tax exemptions, including recent changes under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025. We regularly advise on project finance and tax structuring, representing tax credit investors, syndicators, community development entities, borrowers, lenders, and developers in all aspects of tax credit financing transactions.
Energy Regulatory
We have coast-to-coast knowledge of the laws and regulations that govern federal, state, and local energy infrastructure. Our national team helps businesses and organizations buy or lease the land or building, get the proper permits and approvals, negotiate construction contracts, manage power purchase agreements, connect to the grid, and overcome other obstacles inherent in building solar power generation facilities. Whether a business wants to connect to the grid or invest in solar energy, we advise on compliance with relevant laws nationwide.
