Concord, NH – Put simply, Curt Whittaker puts his money where his skills are. A few years ago, he founded and capitalized one of the country’s largest wind farm developments…in his parents’ hometown in Utah. It’s symbolic of Curt’s 20 years of work in the field of alternative energy. During that time, he has assisted his clients in developing, acquiring and financing over 300 energy projects around the country. This month, Business NH Magazine recognized Curt as the state’s top Energy, Utility and Telecommunications Attorney. “A lot of law firms are discovering energy, especially renewables. We’ve been doing it for 20 years,” said Whittaker, who leads the Energy Practice Group for Rath, Young and Pignatelli, P.C.

Curt Whittaker has been a shareholder of Rath, Young and Pignatelli since 1991. A graduate of Harvard Law School, Whittaker has led the law firm’s alternative energy work, and has also founded a number of projects around the country. “We are tremendously proud of Curt’s recognition by Business NH Magazine. Those who work closely with him have admired his talents for many years. Clearly, his talent is now appreciated by many others throughout New Hampshire,” says Sherry Young, President of Rath, Young and Pignatelli, P.C.

Last fall, Whittaker was named one of The Best Lawyers in America in the field of Energy by the polling firm Woodward-White. He is considered a leading authority on alternative energy projects including wind, landfill gas, biomass, hydropower, solar and cogeneration. Curt is considered a national commentator on a variety of energy issues facing Congress and various states and is frequently sought out as an expert in the energy field by journalists around the country.
