BS&K has a long history of practicing energy law, and you will see immediately how the experience of our energy attorneys can benefit your company or institution. Experience is useful, but our Energy Practice Group will help you most by looking ahead and staying at the forefront of the industry. Right now, our attorneys are actively engaged in the siting of power plants and transmission facilities, evaluation of alternative uses for cogeneration plants, negotiation of power purchase and sales agreements, and the sale of properties involving power production facilities. The attorneys in BS&K's Energy Practice Group stay apprised of developments in the energy industry through our professional associations, including membership in the Independent Power Producers of New York and the Business Council of New York State Energy Committee. Moreover, you will benefit from our excellent reputation with the agencies that regulate energy generation and consumption in New York State, including the New York State Department of Public Service, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.

You should also be aware that our Energy Practice Group does more than practice traditional "energy law." In fact, we represent energy companies in matters involving state and federal environmental laws, labor and employment law, real property tax assessments, transactional matters such as purchase and sale of real property and facilities, project finance, governmental relations, construction law and general litigation.

Whether you are an existing BS&K client, or are seeking to retain energy counsel for the first time, your interests will be our first priority, and we will work to achieve a legal resolution that is right for you. We invite you contact any of the Energy Practice Group attorneys to discuss how we can help you.
