Rodrigo Figueroa understands power. As the leader of the firm's alternative and renewable energy practice, Rodrigo plays an indispensable role in facilitating the development and operation of major utility and energy projects throughout Texas.
His industry knowledge, negotiating and relationship-building talents, and comprehensive understanding of the complicated regulatory framework in which utilities operate have made Rodrigo go-to counsel for clients with energy sector interests.
Business-minded and practical, Rodrigo relishes his role as a seasoned counselor whom energy and utility clients entrust with their most complex and consequential matters.
His clients appreciate not only his candid, practical advice, but also his ability to effectively maneuver through regulatory impediments that can stand in the way of their objectives or consummating a deal.
Knowing the difference between significant issues and those that live on the periphery, Rodrigo keeps his focus on finding solutions that accomplish his clients' goals and protect their interests.
“ Effective business counseling and enduring personal relationships with my clients go hand-in-hand. They trust me to be candid and practical and have confidence that I will find a way to help them accomplish their goals. ”
