Energy & Sustainability

Butzel Long’s energy and sustainability practice provides insight, creative business counsel, and a comprehensive view of the energy industry. We help navigate federal and state regulatory frameworks; bring new products to market; raise capital; and negotiate contracts and corporate transactions.

Our clients range from early-stage technology companies to large, established enterprises, and we represent them in the various phases of the business cycle: from initial formation and start-up funding to product and project development to growth and exit strategies. We help identify and pursue opportunities presented by evolving energy-related public policy; find novel ways to finance projects and structure energy-related investments; and develop energy projects using both fossil fuels and alternative energy sources.

Our team also advises clients in the manufacturing, transportation, and financial industry on energy-related matters.
