Energy, Environment & Resource Strategies
Strategic approach to complex matters
Policy outcomes. Project approvals. Legal decisions. We create a strategy around using all of these options of lobbying Congress, understanding the law and crafting the best legal arguments and understanding how to work with executive branch officials.
We provide critical expertise to companies, state agencies, associations, nonprofits and other organizations in the energy, natural resources and environmental space. Our areas of focus include renewable energy, oil and natural gas, infrastructure development, project development, public lands and permitting, environmental policy, the Endangered Species Act, energy policy, water policy, mining and Indian law.
With collective insights gathered from decades of experience working as decision makers across various federal agencies, we know how to best position clients before Congress, federal administrative agencies and the courts. Our team members have held key positions in which they developed, implemented and defended major policies, including serving as senior congressional staff and legislative strategists at the Department of the Interior.
Building the Future of U.S. LNG Exports
We’ve been there. For nearly two decades we’ve partnered with Freeport LNG, one of the largest U.S. exporters of liquefied natural gas, on some of this innovative company’s key milestones—starting with the structuring, strategy and development of a LNG receiving and regasification facility in Texas. We navigated the LNG export licensing process and hurdles with a variety of federal agencies—Department of Energy, Army Corps of Engineers, Federal Energy Regulatory Committee and EPA—and continue to advocate for ongoing issues impacting the project such as EPA and Federal Energy Regulatory Committee permit needs. We have also represented Freeport LNG and its affiliates in connection with billions of dollars of financings secured by the Texas facility.
