Overview
A leading cannabis producer found itself in a breach of contract dispute with an energy advisor over the savings from its transition to an “interruptible rate” for its electricity. This arrangement allows utilities to cut power delivery during periods of peak demand in return for a substantial reduction in energy costs for the customer. As a massive energy consumer that depends heavily on reliable power, the financial impact of the contract was significant.
Retained by a national Am Law 100 firm, Intellex provided a highly credentialed energy expert, Dr. James Letzelter (ID: 740885), to evaluate the applicable rate frameworks and provide clear, defensible analysis for an arbitration proceeding within a demanding timeline. Dr. Letzelter provided sophisticated technical analyses and clear, effective testimony in support of the client’s position.
The Intellex Impact: How Intellex Helped
- Expert Sourcing: Within weeks of counsel’s initial request, Intellex identified, vetted, and introduced a focused shortlist of qualified energy specialists with expertise in Florida utility markets, interruptible rate structures, and utility auditing for counsel to evaluate.
- End-to-End Management: Intellex managed the full engagement lifecycle: onboarding, contracts, invoicing, and compensation — freeing counsel to focus on case strategy. Dr. Letzelter brought over 30 years of electric power expertise to the engagement.
- Seamless Delivery: Over an eight-month engagement, the expert reviewed case materials, consulted with the legal team, completed a site visit, delivered a written report, and provided deposition testimony — meeting every milestone as the matter progressed toward arbitration.
Key Outcomes
- Counsel received a credentialed, case-ready expert within weeks of initial outreach without the burden of sourcing or vetting.
- A single point of contact managed all logistical and administrative coordination throughout the engagement, keeping counsel focused on strategy.
- The expert delivered substantive support at every stage — from written analysis through deposition testimony.
“Intellex connects experts to the litigants and legal professionals who need them. For this project, my background and experience was an exceptional match for the client’s needs and would not have occurred without Intellex making that connection.”
— Dr. James Letzelter
