Kevin focuses on obtaining required federal land rights, securing federal approvals and reviews, building the administrative record, and defending the approvals in court. He has been leading Bracewell’s team in advising Equinor on its offshore wind portfolio in the U.S., which has grown from an early pilot-scale proposal to multiple commercial-scale projects offshore New York and Massachusetts.
