Advising Clients Nationwide

Areas of Representation

I represent developers, investors, and operators in connection with solar energy projects in Georgia and across multiple jurisdictions. Solar project development involves a complex set of legal, commercial, and regulatory considerations, and decisions made at each stage can materially impact project timelines, costs, and long-term returns.

With experience as both a former CEO and General Counsel of a renewable energy company, I provide practical, business-oriented legal advice informed by firsthand knowledge of how projects are developed, financed, and constructed.

Engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) agreement drafting and negotiatoin

Key Considerations in Solar Projects

Solar projects frequently encounter issues that can significantly affect project viability, including:

Interconnection costs and delays
EPC contract risk allocation
Supply chain uncertainty
Alignment between project documents and financing requirements

Addressing these issues early in the development process can help avoid delays, reduce costs, and improve overall project outcomes.

Geographic Scope

While based in Georgia, I regularly advise clients on projects across multiple jurisdictions, particularly where projects involve complex contracting, multi-state portfolios, or federal regulatory considerations.

Where appropriate, I coordinate with local counsel to address state-specific requirements.
