Publisher's Synopsis
All legal professionals will most certainly benefit from this book, but it has been written for project owners, project developers, project managers as well as contractors, subcontractors and suppliers working on projects. This book has a particular emphasis on Indigenous project development in Canada. Although the author, Chad Eggerman, is a projects lawyer and partner of a law firm, this book is written in plain English instead of legalese.
This book follows the typical development life cycle of a project, starting from project structuring and moving through site acquisition, permitting, project agreements, financing and ending with project exits, decommissioning and dispute resolution. This book uses the example of a wind-power project to explain concepts, and focuses on renewable energy and clean technology projects-an industry well known to the author and renewable energy lawyer, Chad Eggerman, having worked in this industry for nearly 20 years.
Driven by the increasingly urgent need to address climate change, the energy industry may now be the most complex industry globally, requiring a different approach to provision of legal services for energy projects. Practical Project Law is a concise, unpretentious and useful book for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous project professionals.
