Katy Shurin’s practice sits at the intersection of project development, offtake and energy trading. Helping clients negotiate a wide array of structured transactions and related commodity and hedging arrangements, she facilitates the construction, financing and operation of energy and infrastructure projects while allowing counterparties to efficiently and effectively manage risk. Katy co-leads the Energy and Infrastructure and Digital Infrastructure teams.
With experience across all major U.S. power markets, Katy advises clients nationwide on structuring and negotiating front-of-the-meter and behind-the-meter power purchase agreements, hedging arrangements and other revenue contracts, gas supply agreements and other supply and offtake transactions. Her work spans the renewables, battery storage, conventional power and oil and gas sectors and includes transactions that support the development and operation of data centers and other digital infrastructure.
Advising energy and infrastructure project developers and their investors, Katy focuses on optimizing asset value by allocating price and commodity risk in ways that support project development and financing. Transactions often involve pairing offtake arrangements with hedging structures that make projects more financeable and align risk with the parties best positioned to manage it.
Working with corporate and industrial buyers, financial institutions, hedge funds and other energy commodity marketers, Katy represents buyers, hedge providers and other counterparties in evaluating, pricing and assuming power market risk. Her practice reflects both sides of the market, with engagements typically involving either the development side or the offtake and revenue side of a transaction.
Katy also has experience representing creditors and other parties in energy-related restructurings and Chapter 11 proceedings, which informs her approach to risk allocation and credit considerations in ongoing transactions.
