International Legal Services

Troutman Sanders began serving clients in the energy business in the 1920s. Our long-standing familiarity with the industry, and our cutting-edge representations over the years, have made the firm’s Energy Practice Group the leading provider of legal services to the energy and utility industries worldwide. Over the years, we have been engaged by electric and natural gas utilities on virtually every aspect of their businesses, and have played major roles representing clients in high-profile matters such as the California Electricity Crisis, the Eastern Interconnection Blackout of 2003, and in matters surrounding the downfall of Enron.

Clients recognize the value of our service. For two years in a row, in 2006 and 2007, BTI Consulting Group ranked our utilities industry practice as #1 in the United States. We are particularly proud of this ranking because it was based on individual interviews with corporate counsels of Fortune 1000 energy corporations, i.e., our clients. Our success stems from a keen focus on client service and a practical approach to problem solving. The breadth and depth of our experience and energy practice coverage is significant.
