Michael R. Strong

Expert guidance on a complex commercial energy contract

I engaged Michael Strong at Fox Swibel Levin & Carroll to review and negotiate a complex power purchase agreement for our mid-sized manufacturing business. With 18 years of experience, his depth of knowledge in energy law was immediately apparent. He expertly navigated the regulatory nuances specific to Illinois and identified several critical clauses in the draft that posed significant long-term financial risk, which our internal team had completely overlooked. His background, including his recognition by Best Lawyers in Energy Law, gave us immense confidence. Michael is a sharp, strategic thinker who explains complex legal concepts in clear, business-oriented terms. The one area where we experienced a slight delay was in receiving initial drafts of his revisions; communication was sometimes slower than anticipated during the busiest phases. However, the final work product was exceptional and undoubtedly saved our company from a costly mistake. I would confidently recommend him for any commercial energy matter.
