Please join Davis Graham and your natural resources peers at our 14th annual Energy M&A and Financing Forum. Attendees will get an in-depth look at the issues that are currently impacting M&A and financing in the energy sector. Discussions will cover a range of topics, including:

Trends in Oil and Gas M&A: This presentation will discuss various key provisions of a typical oil and gas M&A transaction, highlight the differences between sell-side provisions and buy-side provisions, and explain the legal rationale behind these provisions. We will also discuss the latest negotiating and drafting trends in oil and gas M&A and what is considered “market.” This discussion will be supported by the data and findings from our survey of over 100 oil and gas M&A transactions entered into over the past four years.

Capital Raising Strategies: The panel will examine how energy investments and financing transactions are being structured, key factors driving market activity, and the challenges parties face in bringing deals to a successful close. Panelists will also discuss common reasons transactions fail and share practical strategies attorneys can employ to identify risks early, navigate obstacles, and help guide deals across the finish line.

Dealmaking Today & Beyond: This panel will explore the trends shaping energy transactions today and the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Panelists will discuss how traditional and emerging energy projects are attracting capital, how transactions are being structured to address market uncertainty, and the legal, financial, technological, and policy considerations influencing investment decisions.

Confirmed speakers include:
Sam Niebrugge (Partner, Davis Graham)
Ryan Fussel (Managing Director, JP Morgan)
Daniel Fan (CEO, Sage Butte Energy)
Brody Rollins (Managing Director, Jefferies LLC)

Powering the AI Economy: Capturing the Data Center Opportunity: The AI boom is driving unprecedented demand for electricity and transforming the relationship between energy infrastructure and real estate. As data centers scale from tens to hundreds of megawatts—and potentially beyond—access to reliable, affordable and increasingly clean power is becoming one of the most important factors in determining where projects can be developed and financed. For energy companies, developers and infrastructure investors, this creates a significant opportunity—but also a new set of challenges. Generation, transmission, interconnection, land, water, permitting and regulatory constraints are increasingly intertwined, while customers and investors are demanding greater certainty around both the timing and source of power. This panel will explore how energy companies and capital providers can capture value from the rapidly expanding data center market, including emerging approaches to generation, renewable energy, storage, transmission, behind-the-meter solutions and other power strategies. Panelists will also discuss the commercial, regulatory, legal and financing considerations that can determine whether a proposed data center moves from a compelling concept to a financeable, operational project.

Confirmed speakers include:
Lauren Gulley (Partner, Davis Graham)
Rachel Nixon (Senior Vice President, IMA)
Niki Roberts (Deputy General Counsel, Jera)

As Colorado grows, land development pressures and conflicts have surged. Whether the development is public or private, these projects can pose serious threats to pre-existing infrastructure and facilities.  The stakes can be enormous — ranging from physical damage to multimillion-dollar facilities to the potential extinguishment of hard-won easement rights.

• The stakes are real. Condemnation actions, crossings, and encroachments can threaten physical infrastructure, easement priority, and long-term operational viability — often on compressed timelines that leave owners scrambling.
• Colorado-specific guidance.  Get a snapshot of the statutory and case law framework governing eminent domain, easement rights, and infrastructure protection under Colorado law.
• Infrastructure protection strategies. Walk away with concrete strategies for structuring crossing agreements, encroachment permits, and compensation terms that actually protect your client’s assets.
• Litigation-ready. If negotiation fails, be prepared for litigation however it may arise, whether through condemnation proceedings, trespass claims, or preliminary injunction hearings.
• Bottom line. From first notice to final resolution — this is the session that arms you to defend your ground.

The explosive growth of data centers is reshaping energy markets, grid planning, and corporate sustainability strategies across the West and nationwide. This panel brings together three practitioners working at the intersection of data center development and infrastructure: an energy and regulatory attorney, a data center sustainability executive, and a risk and insurance advisor. Together they will explore how data center operators are sourcing reliable power, meeting ambitious decarbonization commitments, navigating an evolving regulatory landscape, and managing the unique risk profile of these critical facilities. Whether you advise developers, investors, utilities, or operators, this conversation will sharpen your understanding of the legal, operational, and financial forces driving this sector.

Join Davis Graham for a Clean Energy Counsel webinar, “Effective Stakeholder Engagement for Renewable Energy Development”.

In the renewable energy sector, stakeholder engagement is a critical factor for successful planning, execution, and operation of projects. Stakeholder engagement involves identifying, understanding, and addressing the interests and concerns of various stakeholders, including developers, governmental entities, communities, investors, landowners, and environmental groups. Effective stakeholder engagement can transform energy projects by building trust, reducing conflict, improving design, and securing stakeholder approval and acceptance.

This webinar will cover, among other things:

• Identification of relevant stakeholders for a given project.
• Evaluation of when and how to engage with various stakeholders.
• Assembling internal and external teams to appropriately engage with stakeholders and address stakeholder concerns.
• Tips, strategies, and recommendations for short- and long-term project success, including relevant case studies.
