About Adam
Adam Walters practices in Stoel Rives’ Energy Development group. Adam is a seasoned transactional, commercial and project lawyer who has provided legal counsel to a variety of clients in the renewable energy, battery energy storage, wind, solar photovoltaic, telecommunications, manufacturing, water, and design and construction industries. He has broad U.S. and international transactional experience that includes EPC, O&M, equipment supply (WTG/BESS/PV), M&A, debt financings, project development, SaaS, intellectual property, solar and storage leases and power purchase agreements.
Before joining Stoel Rives, Adam spent 10 years in-house, where he held senior legal positions in publicly traded battery storage and solar industry giants Tesla, SolarCity and First Solar. Most recently he served as Deputy General Counsel of renewable water company SOURCE Global (formerly Zero Mass Water). Earlier in his career he worked at several U.S. and international law firms, including the Seattle office of Stoel Rives between 2008 and 2010.
Adam takes a practical, commercial and solutions-oriented approach to the structuring and negotiation of transactions. Clients appreciate his pragmatic and frank advice because no amount of risk mitigation in the transaction documents is of any use unless the deal actually closes. Having negotiated hundreds of deals in-house under tight deadlines and in order to meet quarterly or annual targets, Adam understands the pressure and sense of urgency under which in-house counsel typically operate in the renewable energy industry.
