With a national reputation in Energy Law, Couch White represents clients on a wide variety of legal, regulatory, contractual and policy matters concerning electricity, natural gas and steam generation, delivery and consumption.

As a premier New York law firm specializing in energy law, our attorneys are consistently recognized by Chambers & Partners, Super Lawyers, and Best Lawyers as top-tier professionals in the field. We are proud to be a recognized leader in energy law, serving a distinguished regional, national, and international client base, including numerous Fortune 500 companies. The firm’s energy clients include large end-use customers, the City of New York, owners of large commercial and residential buildings, merchant energy generators, municipalities and private developers. The firm’s attorneys work with clients on distributed generation projects, tariff-related disputes and submetering issues and also represent developers in the construction of power plants, natural gas pipelines and electric transmission lines. Our experience in siting and permitting energy infrastructure projects in New York State is unparalleled.

We actively represent these and other clients in generic and utility-specific rate and restructuring proceedings before the New York State Public Service Commission, the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, the Vermont Public Service Board, Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
