An invaluable guide through complex energy regulatory matters

When our renewable energy project faced significant regulatory hurdles with the Public Utilities Commission, we turned to Carlito Caliboso. His 34 years of experience in Hawai'i, particularly his deep knowledge of Energy Regulatory and Utilities Law, was immediately apparent. Carlito didn't just navigate the complex legal framework; he explained the strategic implications of every filing and hearing in a way our entire team could understand. His recent recognition as Lawyer of the Year was well-earned, reflecting a career of excellence we directly benefited from. Carlito and his team at Yamamoto Hetherington were proactive, meticulous, and ultimately secured the approvals we needed to move forward. He is more than an attorney; he is a strategic partner who understands both the law and the unique landscape of doing business in Hawai'i. We cannot recommend him highly enough.
