About

Your role within the electric cooperative industry means that you are part of a sector with a distinct social mission and historical significance. In the four decades in which we’ve proudly served electric coops, we have developed a deep familiarity with all aspects of the business, cultivated relationships with all key industry players, and have been at the forefront of growth and evolution in this inventive and independent industry.

One example of this is the rise of the first mortgage indenture as the market-accepted security instrument for electric cooperative financing transactions. We’ve pioneered the shift away from traditional financing to embrace other financing structures and partners, such as institutional investors in private placement transactions.

In an increasingly complex world, we understand that electric cooperatives continue to face new challenges. We work to stay abreast of the ever-evolving utility industry to understand and shape developments affecting all aspects of the industry, from financing and tax to member contracts, regulatory, power supply (including renewable energy from solar to carbon capture) and project development.

Because our Electric Cooperative practice draws on the resources and experience of our broader Energy practice, we’re also able to help you take advantage of strategies embraced by others in the energy industry when beneficial.

We offer a variety of services that will help you reimagine your approach to litigation, power purchase arrangements and project development, member contracts, cooperative tax, and regulatory matters. The breadth of our knowledge allows us to navigate your most challenging legal matters in the ever-changing electric cooperative landscape.
