Who We Are
The Energy & Renewable Resources lawyers at Kaufman & Canoles help clients succeed in the rapidly evolving business and regulatory environment for alternative energy and renewable technologies in Virginia and North Carolina.
How We Help
Our lawyers draw upon their diverse backgrounds – in real estate, land use, commercial law, eminent domain, regulatory, tax, mergers and acquisitions, and environmental law – to provide a full range of services to clients on both large and small energy projects throughout the state. We help landowners price and negotiate the lease and sale of their property to alternative and traditional providers. We advise renewable energy companies on planning, permitting, developing, managing, structuring, financing, and selling their projects.
Our experience representing the full spectrum of renewable energy participants – property owners, developers, financiers, regulatory bodies, power purchasers, and power providers, including in particular, wind and solar companies – affords us a unique perspective on success. We know what it takes to get deals done throughout the Mid-Atlantic while minimizing controversy and risk, mitigating cost, and broadening success.
Clients appreciate the personal involvement of our lawyers in their projects. They know we’re committed to helping them achieve their business, strategic, and financial objectives and rely on our leadership and guidance to inform their decisions.
