Procopio

Procopio advises clients across the energy sector on the legal, regulatory, operational, and transactional issues involved in developing, financing, operating, and scaling modern energy and infrastructure projects. We represent developers, infrastructure owners, technology companies, investors, utilities, tribal governments, and other participants navigating the evolving energy landscape.

Our work spans renewable and distributed energy projects, battery storage, transmission and grid infrastructure, energy technology, and emerging energy systems. We regularly advise clients on project development, permitting, environmental compliance, land use, infrastructure planning, and the commercial arrangements required to move projects from concept through operation.

We have experience navigating California’s rapidly evolving regulatory environment, including matters involving CEQA, CARB, CPUC, distributed energy systems, greenhouse gas regulations, and climate-related compliance obligations. We help clients anticipate regulatory developments and align project and business strategies with changing state and federal requirements.

Procopio attorneys bring a multidisciplinary approach that combines environmental and land use law, real estate, intellectual property, corporate transactions, litigation, and regulatory strategy. They advise on the full lifecycle of energy projects and technologies, including siting and entitlements, power purchase and energy services agreements, financing and joint ventures, intellectual property protection, operational risk management, and disputes. Our approach emphasizes practical execution, efficient staffing, and coordinated advice across disciplines, helping clients manage complexity and position projects and technologies for long-term operational and commercial success.
