Shaun Logue joined Brookfield Energy in 2011. He provides practical advice on litigation and commercial energy transactions he has had major litigation success in a number of cases. The changes made to the legal team include implementing processes and systems to ensure compliance with legal agreements. He oversees the legal aspects of the trading operations including drafting and negotiating energy contracts, manages litigation, oversees the company’s compliance program, and provides regulatory support. Prior to joining Brookfield he was an associate at Paul, Weiss Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison and also an associate at Gowlings for over five years. When asked how he calculates the value that he adds to the business he says that ‘giving an effective and practical assessment of risks allows the company to make decisions that are fully informed’. When discussing external factors that have impacted the business he cites that ‘market rule changes and political changes have greatly affected the renewable power industry. Trying to protect the company against those risks can be challenging. We try to overcome them by insisting on change of law protection in agreements and by supporting, from a compliance perspective, the lobbying efforts of the company’.
