KO works with businesses across the industry, including power generation, energy efficiency, grid modernization, logistics, consumer engagement, data management and analytics firms.

Our attorneys understand that industry experience plays an essential role in our clients’ success, and we are relentless about staying on top of current news, opportunities and challenges across the energy landscape.

KO counsels energy clients throughout the various stages of company growth from formation to financing to mergers and acquisitions, through customer RFP and customer contracting processes, and everything in between.

Our attorneys have vast experience working on projects in both regulated and deregulated markets and can assist with software and services agreements relating to demand response, distributed energy resource management (DERMS), behavioral energy efficiency (BEE), and similar projects interconnection agreements, power purchase agreements (PPAs), engineering and procurement agreements (EPCs), project company entity management, utility company RFP responses, project finance, back leverage finance, warehouse finance, and project acquisitions and sales under a variety of structures. We reach into our network to bring in and interface with site-specific expertise as needed such as local real estate, local permitting and local regulatory counsel.
