About
Provided by Riker Danzig LLP
Energy & Natural Resources is a broad field, comprising all entities involved in its procurement or manufacture, refinement, distribution, and sale. Its mastery requires knowledge of land use, geopolitics, environmental policy, real estate, utilities regulation, tax law, and more. In many cases, it also requires expertise in specific subsections of the broader field. Most recently, that has involved an up-to-the-minute knowledge of alternative energy and renewable energy attitudes, hyperlocal regulations, and land use exemptions.
Riker Danzig's Energy attorneys understand that actions in the Energy & Natural Resources Industry—including mergers and acquisitions, new legislation and policy developments—are consequential, having often led, enforced, or otherwise affected movements whose outcomes may have local, state, national, and even potentially international reach.
Riker Danzig's Energy lawyers have the benefit of consulting with our attorneys in Real Estate Law, including Land Use and Zoning, Corporate and Transactional Law, Bankruptcy and Corporate Restructuring, Environmental Law, Public Utilities, Government Affairs, and Litigation.
