Taylor is an energy lawyer who focuses on advising and litigating for utility customers, independent power producers and special interest groups. He also maintains a multijurisdictional litigation practice — often appearing when there is a public policy consideration — and was cited in filings with the U.S. Supreme Court related to brownfield cleanups.

You can find Taylor where energy infrastructure is being built or used. He is regularly hired by independent power producers for guidance and support on project development and acquisition, locally and in deregulated markets. For these clients, Taylor has performed market analysis, conducted state and federal regulatory compliance and litigated interconnection, net metering, PURPA, pipeline, and other pro-development issues and disputes before state and federal regulators.

Taylor is passionate about developing resources for large load utility customers. For these clients, Taylor has developed electric tariffs and state interconnection procedures, litigated utility planning proceedings, avoided unnecessary regulatory requirements through waivers and served as regulatory counsel for national microgrid projects.

For almost two decades, Taylor has defended businesses against a variety of claims, including allegations of sexual harassment, retaliation and discrimination, as well as violations of fair housing, wage-and-hour, immigration and consumer protection laws. His successful representations include trying an employment case to jury verdict in federal court and arguing for an employer in a federal court of appeal.
