Representative Engagements - Corporate and Securities
Our regulatory work often involves questions of corporate strategy. For example,
we have advised an electric utility on strategic issues related to regulatory and
operational difficulties necessitating the repeated shutdown of a nuclear power
plant. In an entirely separate matter, we advised a utility holding company on regulatory
issues that could arise in a potential acquisition of a transportation company.
We provide counseling on various securities matters. This work includes the preparation
or review of submissions to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including
Forms 10-K, 10-Q and S-1. We also provide counseling on project finance and related
tax matters. For example, we represented local industrial development authorities
in connection with cogeneration projects. Several of these projects involve cogeneration
facilities that burn solid waste, including coal tailings. In these transactions,
we provided counseling on the issuance of tax-exempt bonds and on other financing
issues.
