EXPERIENCE

Mr. Davidson's approach to practicing in public utilities law has been developed by having represented all facets of utility regulation including utilities, their customers, and the agency that regulates them.  He has practiced before regulatory agencies in Colorado, Louisiana, Washington and Wyoming.  As the country moves toward more renewable energy alternatives, his representation of solar and wind energy service providers will be at the forefront of our energy economy both in Colorado and across the nation.

Mr. Davidson's case work has provided him with invaluable experience.  Practicing before several regulatory agencies has given him a unique perspective on the regulatory process and the needs of clients.  In addition, his work on the bankruptcy of an electric generation and transmission utility provided valuable insights into what it takes to keep a utility financially viable.  Mr. Davidson incorporates these skills and experiences into his practice to benefit each and every client.

Mr. Davidson has participated in virtually every significant electric utility rate, resource planning, transmission siting, and cost recovery case in Colorado over the past 20 years.  He also represented Cajun Electric Cooperative of Baton Rouge, Louisiana in nearly all regulatory matters before the Louisiana Public Service Commission, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Louisiana, the U.S. District Court, and the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals during the seven-year pendency of Cajun's Chapter 11 reorganization.
