Husch Blackwell represented Overland Park, Kansas-based Black & Veatch in its recently closed acquisition of Bird Electric. The transaction combines key industry engineering, construction, and procurement talent and business-enabling resources.
Bird Electric is a U.S. self-perform electrical construction services provider to electric utility and energy clients. It will operate as a Black & Veatch company with enhanced capabilities and reach in the growing Grid Solutions market—both new Transmission & Distribution infrastructure and restoration—and will also operate in adjacent linear and distributed infrastructure markets and solutions such as EV charging, renewables and connectivity.
The Husch Blackwell team was led by partner John Moore and included Wendy Arends, Emily Langdon, Shari Wright, Jason Reschly, Lindy Martinez, Megan Beebe, Jacob Stephens, Scott LeBlanc, and Taylor Wood.
