Energy projects can be large, unwieldy beasts, even for the experienced in-house attorney. For US companies engaging in energy projects abroad, or using foreign suppliers and contractors for domestic projects, international elements can add complicated twists that are difficult to navigate. This session is designed to break down the fundamentals of energy project contracts, from the form of the contract itself, to an in-depth look at provisions like indemnification, choice of law, limitations of liability, insurance, tax issues and litigation versus alternative dispute resolution. It will provide a checklist of key topics to consider when drafting and negotiating these types of contracts. The panelists will also offer practice tips on how to navigate the treacherous waters of environmental litigation.
