Utilities, oil and gas companies, energy project developers, transmission and distribution companies, and energy service providers are using Big Data to modernize and manage their operations. Big Data is facilitating the proliferation of distributed generation and energy storage, while improving demand-side management. It is also being used by energy companies to detect, mitigate and prevent losses and inefficiencies. But along with its benefits, Big Data also raises concerns for the energy industry regarding privacy, security, safety and reliability, disclosure requirements, and more.

We advise on clearing new infrastructure and innovative technologies at the intersection of Big Data, energy, government regulation and IP. We have significant experience designing and assessing compliance programs that account for Big Data and related issues. Our team includes former senior officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the US Department of Energy, Homeland Security, Department of the Interior, Department of Defense and CFTC. Our attorneys have security clearances that enable them to access classified/sensitive information and restricted areas.
