Domestic Legal Practice
For 35 years, Duncan & Allen lawyers have been at the forefront of regulatory
and legal issues facing the energy industry, particularly consumer-owned electric
utilities. Our firm has been instrumental in helping clients adapt and prosper in
the midst of a rapidly changing and deregulating industry.
We take pride in Duncan & Allen’s position as one of the nation’s boutique, preeminent
law firms specializing in energy law throughout the United States and its possessions
and territories, primarily for municipally-owned and cooperatively-owned electric
utilities and public bodies.
We have earned a national reputation for solving clients’
problems creatively and cost effectively, with the perspective and experience of
a firm with a national presence and thorough understanding of the energy industry.
Collectively,
Duncan & Allen lawyers bring a wealth of detailed industry and regulatory
experience to the table, whether it is a complex transaction, a regulatory proceeding,
a litigation matter, or a negotiation. That experience helps to assure that consumer
interests - whether big or small - are not ignored in Washington or at the bargaining
table.
We are proud of
our organizational and operational strengths which enable us to provide clients
with reliable, independent-minded advice and representation that helps them articulate
and successfully pursue their own strategies - not someone else’s. Increasingly,
it is becoming difficult to separate legal from business problems. Our legal knowledge,
combined with our broad and deep industry experience, allows us to analyze a client’s
situation as few firms can.
Ultimately, we pride ourselves on knowing that our experience and understanding of
every facet of the energy industry allow us to offer services that go well beyond
traditional legal assistance. Whether a client is faced with difficult issues relating
to interconnected utility operations, transmission access, industry restructuring,
the creation of a utility, a merger or acquisition, or energy regulatory problems,
we at Duncan & Allen have the experience and ability to provide meaningful counsel.
