Speaking Engagements

Brenda Barrett will present “April Energy Exchange: The Nuts & Bolts of Commercial Contracts in the Energy Industry” at the Association of Women in Energy (AWE) virtual event on April 22, 2026.

Commercial contracts in the energy industry shape nearly every deal—but too often, the most important risk decisions are buried in language few people feel comfortable challenging. In this practical and engaging session, we’ll break down the fundamentals of commercial contracts in plain English, focusing on the clauses that drive risk, value, and leverage in energy transactions. 

Topics include:

  • How commercial contracts allocate risk in energy deals
  • Key clauses that drive value, leverage, and long-term outcomes
  • Where risks are often hidden—and how to spot them
  • How to ask better questions during contract negotiations
  • Practical tools to navigate contracts with confidence
