Adam previously practiced in California during the early emergence of the third-party ownership solar as a service business model, and has practiced in Massachusetts since the emergence of its nation-leading solar SREC and net-metering policies. Adam’s practice has had a particular emphasis on distributed solar and renewable energy transactions in the Northeast and includes recent work in the emergent offshore wind and energy storage industries and in representing corporate customers advancing their green energy purchasing goals.
