While the practice is renowned for its experience and comprehensive counsel in tax matters, Husch Blackwell LLP has a strong offering across renewable energy project development, financing and M&A. A number of practitioners in the team draw on in-house counsel experience at renewable energy developers, utilities, and regulatory commissions. Anna Kimbrell, seasoned advisor to developers and owners through the life-cycle of wind and solar energy projects, leads the department from Kansas City. David Gardels in Omaha is a transactions expert with a focus on deals across the low carbon economy, and Chicago-based Jai Khanna is a veteran finance lawyer with a strong practice in renewable energy projects. Both Andrew Eastman (St Louis) and Brian Pullin (Austin) come with client recommendation, and are part of the firm’s strong crop of junior partners in this area, which was bolstered by the addition of Sara Bergan to the Minneapolis office from Stoel Rives LLP in June 2023.
