Welcome to McDermott’s Energy Business Law Blog.  Our objective in this forum is to provide our readers with insights into the evolving regulatory, business, tax and legal issues affecting the U.S. and international energy and commodities markets.  Contributions to this blog will be a collective effort of lawyers and professional staff that are part of McDermott’s broad-based energy practice, with ten U.S. and seven European offices, and a strategic alliance in China.  We will bring to bear our experience across the global energy sector, which spans exploration and production, oil, gas and refined products pipelines, storage and processing facilities, liquefied natural gas, refining and petrochemicals, electric power generation and transmission, renewable and alternative energy (including wind, solar, biofuels and others), trading and regulatory, carbon and emissions, metals and agriculture. 

We hope you find our energy blog to be an informative resource.  Please feel free to provide us any feedback on how we might improve our offerings.
