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.

ESG in finance can refer to, among other things, financing tools such as Green, Social, and Sustainability Bonds and similar ESG-related debt instruments, as well as the separate discipline of ESG Investing. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Investors are increasingly applying these non-financial factors as part of their analysis to identify ESG-related risks and opportunities in particular investments. ESG metrics have not historically been included in financial reporting, though companies are increasingly making disclosures in their annual report or in a standalone sustainability report, and regulatory requirements for such disclosures, including from the SEC, are expanding.

What Is the Securities Exchange Act of 1934?
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”) established the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and gave it the power to oversee the securities industry. Through the Exchange Act, the SEC gained the authority to register, regulate, and oversee brokerage firms, transfer agents, and clearing agencies. The Commission also has authority over the U.S. securities self-regulatory organizations (SROs), including: The New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Stock Market, Chicago Board of Options, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. SROs must have guidelines in place to make sure investors are protected.
