Mergers & Acquisitions for Energy Companies

CRA’s Energy practice supports law firms and their clients throughout energy-sector mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic transactions. We combine deep industry and regulatory expertise with economic and quantitative analysis to help counsel assess regulatory risk, competitive implications, and the commercial fundamentals underlying a transaction.

Our experts assist with FERC and other regulatory approvals, including market-power and competitive-effects analyses. We also provide independent due diligence on utilities, generation and transmission assets, renewable projects, pipelines, and other energy businesses—helping counsel and their clients understand the market, regulatory, financial, and operational issues that may affect transaction value or risk.
