Workflow

Overview

Drafting Operations and Maintenance agreements for energy projects is time-intensive, requiring careful attention to performance standards, compensation structures, and regulatory compliance. Attorneys spend hours customizing templates, cross-referencing industry benchmarks, and ensuring all critical provisions align with project specifications and client expectations.

Operations and Maintenance Agreements for energy facilities require balancing complex performance standards, risk allocation, and regulatory compliance across 50+ page contracts. Attorneys spend 12-20 hours drafting comprehensive O&M agreements that address facility-specific requirements, lender covenants, and industry best practices while ensuring commercially balanced terms.

CaseMark automates O&M agreement drafting by analyzing your facility specifications and project documents to generate complete, negotiation-ready contracts. Our AI incorporates performance metrics, compensation structures, and compliance frameworks tailored to your energy facility type and regulatory jurisdiction.
