Brogan is an accomplished advisor to clients in acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, complex commercial transactions, restructurings and general corporate matters, especially in the energy industry.
For six years Brogan worked in-house for Aquila, a large international energy company. As the company rapidly expanded, Brogan handled numerous acquisition transactions involving gas and electric utility companies, power plants, gas midstream assets, merchant energy businesses, and telecom businesses in the U.S. and abroad. Then, as Aquila’s fortunes waned following Enron’s bankruptcy, Brogan helped the company avoid insolvency by selling its assets and unwinding many complex relationships.
Since returning to the firm in 2006, Brogan has handled major transactions, capital projects, and restructurings for energy companies and major commercial and industrial clients. His focus on the energy industry continues unabated, with extensive work on power purchase agreements, co-ownership arrangements for power plants and other energy assets, and development and transactional work involving utility businesses, wind and solar generation facilities, electric transmission projects, and midstream assets (including gathering, storage, and pipeline facilities).
Brogan’s recent energy industry accomplishments include:
- Represented Crestwood Equity Partners (NYSE: CEQP) in the formation of a $2 billion, 50/50 joint venture for the ownership of Crestwood’s natural gas pipeline and storage businesses in New York and Pennsylvania, resulting in $1 million cash proceeds to Crestwood.
- Represented Black Hills Corporation (NYSE: BKH) in the sale of a 49.9% interest in a 200 MW gas-fired power plant in Pueblo, Colorado for $215 million, including joint venture and operating agreements.
- Represented CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust (NYSE: CORR) in the purchase of a subsea, midstream pipeline system and related onshore facilities in Louisiana for $245 million, including related leaseback transaction.
- Represented NV Energy in landmark project with Apple Inc. for the co-development of a 20 MW solar facility in Nevada.
In addition to transactional and development work, Brogan leverages his extensive project management experience to manage complex internal restructurings on behalf of his clients.
Brogan's experience includes major international transactions and coordinating large multi-national deal teams. He also works with companies on procurement and supply contracts, including by developing forms and training materials.
