Bart is a transactional construction attorney who has worked on energy projects around the world, with total constructed values in excess of multi-billions of dollars.
Bart handles complex engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) transactions, working with renewable energy projects, including solar facilities, wind farms and battery facilities. He also works with traditional hydrocarbon, oil and gas, as well as industrial and infrastructure projects. Bart provides legal counsel on issues and disputes related to construction, manufacturing, installation, field services and materials supply; assists with overall contract strategy; and prepares and negotiates complex EPC and EPCm contracts and management and purchase agreements with key equipment suppliers.
Many of the clients Bart works with are just beginning to move into new renewable markets, and he has the background and legal knowledge to guide companies through this transition. He represents both owners and contractors and is extensively familiar with every angle of transactions.
Earlier in his career, Bart worked in-house for 17 years for one of the largest tier-one EPC contractors, managing projects around the globe. He spent much of that time as a legal officer for the company, essentially functioning as lead counsel for a corporation with $12+ billion in annual revenue and overseeing the general legal operations, which included up to 53 legal and support personnel. The experience gave him a high level of commercial acumen that he applies to clients’ projects: Bart understands profit, loss and business needs, as well as where these issues intersect with or differ from legal considerations. His goal is to provide not just legal advice, but to serve as a true partner as clients develop ongoing commercial and risk management strategies.
