Duane Morris lawyers have been a presence in the Energy Industry for several decades and advise clients in traditional and emerging energy markets on the legal, practical and business issues surrounding development, generation, transmission, distribution, policy, regulation, sale and consumption.

"We trust Duane Morris attorneys to advise on complex energy law issues because we know they understand our energy business, the regulatory laws and our specific needs as an electric and natural gas distribution company. With Duane Morris helping The United Illuminating Company (UI) and its parent company, UIL Holdings Corporation (NYSE: UIL), we can grow our business and continue our focus on our business: purchasing, transmitting, distributing and selling energy and related services to 690,000 customers in Connecticut and Massachusetts. That's good for our customers, our shareholders and our peace of mind."

"As an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company, part of Stone Energy Corporation's strategy is to seek out and produce new energy sources safely, efficiently, and in compliance with all regulations. In Pennsylvania and West Virginia, our company is actively developing natural gas from the vast deposits in the Marcellus Shale. Operating in the Marcellus region requires an understanding of energy, environmental and real property law and policy at the interstate, state and local levels to assure proper planning, execution and compliance. Duane Morris lawyers have advised our company on a wide variety of subjects, including state and interstate permitting requirements and developments, drill pad best-management practices, groundwater protection and government relations. At every step of the way, Duane Morris has provided clear, informed, strategic advice. As we explore further growth opportunities, and continue with our current development plans in the Marcellus Shale, it's comforting to have such a knowledgeable team of Duane Morris lawyers supporting our efforts."
