Overview

Energy companies can count on Day Pitney to handle their complex litigation needs with skill and efficiency. Our firm has a nationally recognized energy practice, and our litigators bring a robust understanding of the energy industry to dispute resolution. We work to achieve a prompt, favorable resolution for clients through early motion practice, negotiation or mediation, but always have an eye on the potential need to bring the matter to trial in court or arbitral forums. Our energy litigators work side by side with our transactional and regulatory teams to spot and defuse issues before they lead to a dispute.

Our energy litigation team represents electric, gas and water utilities; generators; transmission owners; marketers; and other energy market participants. We handle high-stakes disputes involving complicated contract issues related to energy projects and supply and generation arrangements. We represent energy companies in litigation involving antitrust and unfair trade practices, class action claims, environmental issues, and real estate and land use matters.
