Utilities & Power Lawyers

The utilities industry operates within one of the most heavily regulated legal frameworks in the economy, balancing reliability, affordability, and compliance across complex infrastructure systems. Axiom’s utilities lawyers can help utility companies, municipal utilities, and independent power producers navigate a broad range of regulatory, transactional, and litigation matters. Our bench provides practical, business-focused guidance designed to address evolving market conditions and regulatory scrutiny.

Regulatory and Compliance Counsel for Utility Providers

Axiom’s lawyers can advise utility clients on state and federal regulatory requirements governing public utilities, including electric, natural gas, gas water, and wastewater services. They regularly appear before regulatory agencies and commissions, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), helping clients manage compliance, approvals, and enforcement issues.

Our bench can assist with rate cases, tariff filings, and utility rates design, working closely with internal regulatory teams and external consultants to ensure filings are accurate, defensible, and aligned with business objectives. Whether supporting investor-owned utilities or publicly owned entities, Axiom helps clients navigate regulatory processes efficiently and effectively.

Transactions, Infrastructure, and Real Estate Matters

Utility operations frequently involve complex infrastructure development and property interests. Axiom’s utilities lawyers advise on transactions involving commercial real estate, easements, rights-of-way, and land use agreements critical to transmission, distribution, and pipeline assets. They support capital projects, asset acquisitions, and divestitures that underpin utility service delivery.

Our lawyers can also assist utilities and project sponsors with contractual and operational matters related to generation assets, interconnections, and service agreements, ensuring compliance while managing operational risk.

Litigation, Disputes, and Risk Management

Disputes in the utilities sector often involve high stakes and long-term consequences. Axiom’s lawyers can represent clients in administrative proceedings and litigation before state and federal courts, as well as in contested matters before public utility commissions and other oversight bodies.

They can handle legal challenges related to rate disputes, service obligations, contract interpretation, and regulatory enforcement. By combining deep industry knowledge with strong advocacy, Axiom helps clients resolve disputes efficiently while protecting critical infrastructure and public trust.
