Charles came to the practice of law with an insatiable desire to learn and a love of solving problems. Particularly fascinated by business operations and business questions, he dove into corporate transaction work soon after graduating from law school. Charles gained experience early in his career representing clients in corporate governance matters, cross-border deals, and complex mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures valued in the hundreds of millions to billions of dollars. He soon began to focus on lenders in renewable energy project finance transactions and work involving secured credit facilities for utility-scale energy projects.
Today, Charles devotes much of his practice to sponsor-side work, assisting renewable energy developers and owners with corporate transactions, financing and governance matters. His experience representing lenders gives him an inside perspective on negotiations, often helping him achieve favorable deals for clients more efficiently. Charles also serves clients in mergers, acquisitions and securities transactions throughout the life cycle of their businesses and across a range of industries.
Charles sees energy as one of the world’s most exciting industries: he is passionate about the growth of renewables and increasing innovation that is fostering the field’s potential to build a better future. With his love of learning, he also appreciates the opportunity to work closely to the cutting edge of such a rapidly growing and changing industry.
Known as a comprehensive and thorough thinker, Charles knows that legal issues don’t occur in a vacuum, and he knows that clients’ primary interest is their business. He seeks to meet clients where they are, listen in depth to their needs and present legal advice that helps them achieve business growth and continued success.
