Bracewell & Giuliani is a leading U.S. law firm with its
headquarters in Houston and around 500 lawyers spread
across the U.S., the Middle East and Europe. We focus on
the energy sector and act for many of the world’s leading
energy companies, including ConocoPhillips, Chevron,
Apache and Kinder Morgan. We also have a track record
of acting for small and mid-cap companies and partnering
with them as they grow.
The London office of Bracewell & Giuliani is exclusively
dedicated to the energy sector, making us unique in the
London market. Our team is comprised of leading energy
lawyers drawn from across the top law firms in the London
market. We have learned from all of them what works well
and what does not and have shared our experiences to
develop an offering which we believe is unique and better
for clients. When you work with us you know the entire
team is immersed in your industry.
Our team can help you on any transaction or project
relating to oil and gas and power (conventional and
renewable). We focus on finance, mergers and acquisitions
and project development.
Our oil and gas experience includes advising on all
segments of the industry, from upstream exploration and
production, to midstream pipelines, transportation and
storage, including LNG, and downstream refining and
marketing.
We have an unrivalled depth of experience of upstream
debt financings and Reserve Based Lending (RBL) in
particular. We estimate that our team has advised on most
of the RBL financings arranged in the London market over
the last decade.
We regularly advise on the full range of reserve based
financing products from single field project financings
through to multi-field borrowing base facilities. We have
also been involved and in many cases instrumental in the
development of, more unconventional debt products for
the upstream sector including contingent resource backed
facilities such as pre-development sanction facilities.
As independent E&P companies have sought to broaden
and diversify their funding sources we have advised on
the growing number of cases where different bank debt
products and capital market debt products intersect and
the intercreditor issues arising.
Outside of the pure “reserve based” area we advise on
the full range of other debt products seen in the upstream
sector including pre-export financings, prepayment
financings and corporate debt facilities for E&P companies.
We believe our team has not only the knowledge of exactly
where the upstream debt market is but also, whether
acting for lenders or borrowers, where the “envelope” can
successfully be pushed.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
We understand the vast array of issues confronting project
developers, the linkages among the project documents, and the
appropriate risk mitigation strategies under a project’s particular
facts and circumstances. We draw upon our experience to
comprehensively and efficiently address these issues, based upon
each client’s particular preferences and risk profile. As project
counsel, one of our principal tasks is to identify all of the risks that
could have a material adverse impact on the project’s operational
and financial performance, and then to mitigate the risks through
the project structure and project contracts.
Structuring project entities and transactions to best
utilize available federal and state tax credits and
other incentives
Acquiring project sites and necessary easements and
property rights
Acquiring all necessary environmental permits and
land use approvals
Negotiating and drafting all project contracts,
including:
• Power Purchase Agreements
• Interconnection and Transmission Agreements
• Equipment Supply Agreements
• Construction Contracts
• Operation and Maintenance Agreements
• Development and Joint Venture Agreements
• Ground Leases and Easements
Negotiating and drafting all financing and security
documents
Assisting in the purchase and sale of renewable
energy credits and other environmental attributes
Obtaining necessary federal and state regulatory
approvals applicable to electric generators
ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES,
JOINT VENTURES AND EQUITY INVESTMENTS
We advise clients in the purchase and sale of renewable energy projects, from the early stages of development through projects in
commercial operation.
We also represent clients, including Fortune 100 companies, in connection with their investment in joint ventures and acquisitions
of minority positions in various private energy and renewables companies.
We counsel clients in all aspects of these transactions including working with the deal team on bidding strategies, advising boards
on the myriad of acquisition issues arising in acquisition and sale agreements, providing tax structuring advice, conducting detailed
due diligence on all aspects of the transaction, and drafting and negotiating the required transaction documents.
experience
PROJECT FINANCE AND CORPORATE FINANCE
Consistently ranked in both the league tables compiled by Thomson Reuters and in legal ranking services such as Chambers as one
of the top finance practices in the United States, Bracewell’s finance team helps energy companies and their lenders successfully
develop, restructure, purchase and sell energy assets and projects. Our Project Finance Group advises developers, sponsors,
utilities, contractors and vendors in energy and other infrastructure project financing transactions around the world. We recently
were recognized as being among the top firms in the United States for project finance in energy infrastructure by Project Finance
magazine. In the renewables sector we have represented project developers in the project financing of wind, solar and biomass
facilities. In addition, we have represented financial institutions as lenders to renewable energy projects, both on a limited
recourse and non-recourse basis.
FEDERAL AND STATE TAX ADVICE
Our Tax Group helps our clients plan and achieve their
financial objectives while maximizing their tax advantages
and minimizing tax burdens and risks. We advise clients on
all aspects of local, state, federal and international taxation,
including structuring project ownership and transactions
to utilize the federal Section 45 production tax credit, the
federal Section 48 investment tax credit and the grant-in-
lieu of the investment tax credit as enacted under Section
1603 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (ARRA). We also advise clients in connection with the
Department of Energy loan guarantee programs and the
federal and state grant programs created under ARRA.
REAL ESTATE AND LAND USE
Our Real Estate Group plays an integral role in our clients’
acquisition, development and financing of renewable energy
projects throughout the United States. We are experienced
in platting, zoning and other local permitting issues and
land use issues. Our project work has included drafting and
negotiating long-term wind project and solar project leases,
access, transmission, pipeline and other utility easement
agreements, water supply agreements and other complex
site control and conveyancing arrangements.
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS AND RENEWABLE ENERGY
ADVOCACY
We have had a substantial government relations practice
in place in Washington, D.C. for over 30 years. Bracewell
views government relations in a different way than most
practitioners. We believe that most government relations
issues should be viewed with a strategic perspective based
on three core components: traditional government relations,
regulatory and legal advice, and strategic communications to
key stakeholders.
Our government relations and strategic communications
team has worked closely with renewable energy clients in
successfully facilitating the political and public outreach
aspects related to the development of their projects. For
example, our attorneys have assisted clients in accessing DOE
loan guarantees offered under ARRA. The Bracewell energy
advocacy team has been an effective advocate for clients on
a wide range of issues affecting their business operations and
objectives.

Bracewell has represented numerous clients in connection
with the construction and operation of Liquefied Natural Gas
(LNG) liquefaction terminals, LNG regasification terminals, the
acquisition of capacity in LNG terminals – whether through
tolling arrangements or title transfers, arrangements to ship
and market LNG, including sales and purchase agreements,
and arrangements to market regasified LNG.
Our experience also includes upstream gas work that supplies

Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) seminal Hackberry
policy. We are currently advising Kinder Morgan as the
developer of two LNG export projects as well as numerous
participants playing various roles in several other LNG
projects. We recently represented Centrica in its announced
transaction to enter into a long-term LNG purchase agreement
with Cheniere. We work with large, sophisticated international
participants in and economic consultants to the LNG industry
on a regular basis and are highly attuned to developments in
LNG markets.

Our energy projects attorneys have significant experience
in representing independent power producers and other
generators in project development, finance, mergers and
acquisitions, and operation, including coal, gas and renewables
facilities. A particular strength is our work on structured
commodity transactions that involve the formation, purchase

BRACEWELL EXPERIENCE
OIL AND GAS
Bracewell has a team of lawyers dedicated to upstream oil and gas law and
transactions, principally transactions involving the acquisition and divestiture of oil and
gas producing assets, joint development of existing assets and the day-to-day operation
of such assets. In acquisitions and divestitures, we have been involved in large, complex
transactions, such as multibillion dollar transactions involving leveraged partnerships,
asset swaps or public company tender offers, and smaller routine asset transactions.
Our consistent involvement allows us to understand both historical practices and
current market trends. Our oil and gas team helps negotiate and draft all documents
necessary for the exploration and production of oil and gas, including joint operating
agreements, leases, and other forms of joint ventures designed to minimize risks and
tax consequences. We also handle all other exploration and production contractual
matters. In addition, our lawyers are skilled in addressing the special problems and
issues presented by lending on the basis of oil and gas collateral. Our upstream focus
helps us understand our clients and their goals and allows us to quickly get up to speed
regarding any transaction.
MIDSTREAM
Bracewell is experienced in all aspects of the midstream oil and gas business, including
transactions involving natural gas storage, terminal facilities, processing plants,
gathering systems and interstate and intrastate pipelines. Bracewell attorneys have
extensive experience representing clients in connection with the acquisition and
divestiture of pipelines and gas storage facilities as well as the greenfield development,
financing, construction and operation of pipelines and natural gas storage facilities.
Our experience includes state and federal permitting, environmental assessments,
project financing, the sale and acquisition of capacity in gas storage facilities and other
transactions. We are members of the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America
(INGAA) Foundation and work with participants in the natural gas industry on a regular
basis. Bracewell is highly attuned to current developments in gas markets.
LNG MARKET EXPERIENCE
Bracewell has represented numerous clients in connection with the construction and
operation of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import terminals, the acquisition of capacity
in LNG terminals, arrangements to ship and market regasified LNG and in connection
with LNG supplies. Our firm was instrumental in the adoption of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) seminal Hackberry policy. We work with large,
sophisticated international participants in and economic consultants to the LNG
industry on a regular basis and are highly attuned to developments in LNG markets.
