His practice covers a broad spectrum of traditional and renewable energy projects, including nuclear power (both large nuclear power plants and SMRs), natural gas-fired power facilities, liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities, petrochemical projects, carbon capture (point source and direct air capture), lithium extraction, blue and green ammonia production, renewable gasoline, e-fuels, battery storage, and other energy transition projects.

Kaleb drafts, negotiates, and advises clients on the full range of engineering, procurement, and construction-related agreements and project delivery structures (EPC, EPCM, long-term service agreements, etc.), including deep experience drafting and negotiating technology licensor agreements (such as intellectual property licenses, guarantee agreements, catalyst agreements, and others).

Kaleb also helps clients avoid disputes by focusing on high-risk issues and, when necessary, strategically counsels clients in navigating and resolving early-stage disputes at the project level.
