Winston & Strawn’s Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) & Energy Regulatory Practice bring decades of experience counseling on transactional, regulatory, investigation, and enforcement and litigation matters.
Practice Area
Derivatives & Structured Products
Winston represents swap dealers, major swap participants, financial intermediaries, hedge funds, national exchanges, and end-users in a broad array of derivative transactions ranging from highly structured transactions to more traditional trading or hedging transactions, and in regulatory and enforcement issues related to commodities and derivatives.
Industry
Winston’s broad-based, fully integrated Energy Practice is among the most experienced in the current market, and we advise enterprises with interests in power generation from both renewable and conventional sources; transmission, including generation interconnection and transmission access; and storage projects on a full panoply of legal and business needs. We have handled power transactions since the infusion of independent power producers (IPPs) into the sector in the 1970s, which helped establish our reputation as one of the leading firms for power sector transactions, including electric generation, transmission, distribution, and fuel supply. We also handle various types of energy-related disputes before federal and state courts, arbitral panels on the domestic and international levels, and before regulatory authorities. Collectively, our lawyers deliver exceptional value due to the team’s depth of experience, the efficiency that comes with such experience, and our institutional knowledge of our clients’ businesses.
