He also represents clients in the transactional and regulatory aspects of purchasing and developing renewable energy projects, including wind, solar, and biomass energy projects.

contentpilot/introduction

Jordan is known for his ability to achieve consensus among various stakeholders, as well as his creative solutions in resolving disputes and completing transactions.

core/paragraph

His practice also includes a wide range of energy-related procurement and construction matters, including contract negotiation, contract administration, bid protests, and dispute resolution. He guides public utilities through rate-making and other regulatory matters by establishing close relationships with regulators, yet never compromising his ability to fight for his clients.
