California Litigation Attorneys Represent Public Utilities, Regulated Industries
Lawyers of Sullivan Taketa LLP possess a unique degree of knowledge and experience representing public utilities and regulated industries. Our attorneys are former in-house counsel for major corporations and have a combined total of over 50 years' experience in representing and advising public utilities. Our attorneys have represented multiple utilities in a variety of legal and regulatory matters covering a broad swath of complex litigation issues such as employment matters, tariff defenses, rate cases, public works projects, and eminent domain.
For example, as a result of record-high prices on the spot market for electricity in California, the California Power Exchange (CalPX) had its energy contracts commandeered, and Sullivan Taketa LLP was retained by CalPX to pursue compensation. The multi-billion dollar filing that the firm made with the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board as counsel for CalPX was the start of highly publicized litigation and re-regulation that reestablished a market for wholesale electrical energy in California.
