McGuireWoods LLP

McGuireWoods LLP is regularly sought out for its expertise handling heavyweight transactions concerning energy companies and assets, providing trusted counsel to some of the largest retail electricity providers in the country. Beyond transactional expertise that encompasses both conventional energy portfolios and a growing volume of renewable and clean energy developments, the firm demonstrates notable energy regulation expertise and regularly drafts, negotiates and advises on supply and partnership agreements. Team head and Richmond-based Joanne Katsantonis continues to be a key contact for a range of clients that include public utilities, financial sponsors, and independent power producers, most recently overseeing transactions involving nuclear, LNG and renewable assets. Operating out of Baltimore, Brian Kelly chairs the firm’s energy industry team and often receives multiple instructions from clients looking to capitalize on his M&A, project development, and commercial expertise, while Houston-based Edmund Daniels is particularly revered for his strong track record on joint venture mandates. Baltimore’s Heather Welch Arbogast is regularly engaged by retail energy providers for complex, multi-faceted transactions. Emilie McNally has been predominantly active on LNG and battery storage mandates, advising clients from Richmond.
