Bracewell LLP sports a robust FERC practice, representing clients in federal appellate and district courts. The team also excels in renewable energy work, advising on independent transmission projects as well as storage and generation projects with the capacity to advise on regulatory compliance and approvals as well as on contentious and transactional issues. In Washington DC, practice head Catherine McCarthy is highly experienced in representing clients before authorities such as FERC, DOE and NRC, and Tyler S. Johnson counts regulatory litigation and compliance amongst his areas of expertise. Deanna E. King, based in Austin, is another practitioner with extensive know-how in federal and state court litigation in addition to non-contentious regulatory issues. New York’s Theodore Duver is regularly sought out by renewable energy companies and utilities in matters such as generic rule-makings and ratemaking proceedings. Rachael Novier Marsh left the firm for an in-house position in May 2023.
