Praised for its ‘outstanding legal advocacy’, Baker Botts L.L.P. sports a multi-faceted practice capable of advising electric power clients on all aspects of regulatory issues and ensuing litigation. In addition to standalone regulatory work for a diverse client base that includes multi-state utilities as well as generation and transmission portfolio companies, the practice also provides regulatory support in the framework of transactions and financings. Washington DC’s Michael Yuffee counts enforcement defense, transactions and regulatory work among his areas of expertise and focuses on matters relating to the wholesale energy markets; he leads the practice jointly with Andrea Stover in Austin, whose work focuses on Texas and includes appearances before agencies such as ERCOT and the Public Utility Commission of Texas. Also in Washington DC, Jay Ryan and Emil Barth field diverse regulatory energy portfolios involving extensive FERC expertise.
