Energy Project Development
The Firm has historically maintained a large energy law practice. In connection with that practice numerous clients have engaged the Firm to represent them in developing or expanding projects in Mississippi. These projects have included new oil and gas pipelines, new and expanded gas storage facilities, electric generating facilities and a lignite mine. These projects typically involve investments well in excess of $100 million, but also include smaller projects. In order to handle this multi-disciplinary activity, the firm has created a work group of attorneys whose practices encompass all areas of project development: Economic Development Tax Incentives; legislative work; environmental permitting; securing necessary certificates from the Mississippi Public Service Commission and the Mississippi Oil & Gas Board; and providing a full range of commercial services, including financing, real estate, and contract work.
