Energy and Hydrocarbons Law

Headrick has a highly specialized practice in energy and hydrocarbons law, backed by the active participation of its partners in the restructuring of the Dominican Republic’s electricity sector and in the reform of the regulatory framework that began in 1998. The Firm has been directly involved in the drafting of laws, decrees, regulations, and resolutions governing the sector, as well as in the discussion of the Pact for the Reform of the Electricity Sector, representing the private sector, and in providing legal advice for new reforms to the electricity system and its institutions. We advise domestic and international clients on the negotiation of energy contracts, financing of electricity projects, both renewable and non-renewable, obtaining electricity concessions, participation in power purchase agreements (PPAs), and regulatory consultations on electricity matters. Headrick also provides comprehensive legal advice on hydrocarbon law, assisting companies and operators in regulated operations, contracts, and regulatory compliance, with a strategic approach aligned with international standards in the energy sector.
