We are excited to announce that our client Flushing Community Schools has closed on a public-private partnership (P3) project that will provide the school district with significant savings while making a long-term commitment to renewable energy to power school district buildings.

In a first-of-its-kind transaction in Michigan, Standard Solar will design, build, finance, operate and maintain eight solar arrays on-site at seven schools within the school district. The school district will then purchase the renewable energy generated on-site at a reduced rate from Standard Solar, estimated to save the school district $45,000 annually.

Miller Canfield is pleased to announce that it has been named one of 17 firms nationwide that general counsels would recommend to other energy companies.

According to a story published in Law 360, the BTI Power Rankings 2016 report identified the firm as one that has “earned the highest level of relationship strength—the combination of a firm’s being a client’s primary legal counsel and the frequency the client recommends the firm to others.”

Miller Canfield’s attorneys offer comprehensive, cross-discipline services to energy clients in all practice areas including transactions; real estate; labor and employment; employee benefits; tax; immigration; and commercial litigation. The firm also provides legal services in the areas of: regulatory permitting, compliance and enforcement; utility, energy and telecommunications support; natural resources and land use; oil and gas; emergency response and crisis management; occupational safety and health investigations; climate change; and environmental and regulatory advocacy.
