McGuireWoods Advises Dominion Energy in Historic Combination With NextEra Energy
All-Stock Deal Creates World's Largest Regulated Electric Utility Business at $420 Billion Enterprise Value
*
McGuireWoods LLP advised Dominion Energy, Inc. in its definitive agreement to combine with NextEra Energy, Inc. in an all-stock transaction with an enterprise value of approximately $420 billion and a market capitalization of approximately $249 billion. The merger would create the world's largest regulatedelectric utility business by market cap and one of the world's largest energy infrastructure companies.
Upon completion of the transaction, NextEra Energy shareholders are expected to own approximately 74.5% of the combined company and Dominion Energy shareholders are expected to own approximately 25.5%. Dominion Energy shareholders also will continue to receive Dominion Energy's current quarterly dividend through closing, plus a one-time cash payment of $360 million at closing.
The combined company will be an industry leader in nearly every category, including No. 1 in the world in renewables and battery storage; No. 1 in the U.S. in total generation, gas generation, rate base and market capitalization; and No. 2 in the U.S. in nuclear generation. It will serve approximately 10 million utility customer accounts across Florida, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, own 110 gigawatts of generation across a broad mix of energy sources and maintain a business mix that is more than 80% regulated. The agreement also includes proposed bill credits totaling $2.25 billion spread over two years after closing for Dominion Energy customers in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
The transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies and is expected to close in 12 to 18 months, subject to customary closing conditions and approvals, including approvals by the shareholders of NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy; the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act; approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act; approval by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission; and review and approval by the Virginia State Corporation Commission, the North Carolina Utilities Commission and the Public Service Commission of South Carolina.
Partner Joanne Katsantonis and associate John M. Yates led the McGuireWoods team advising Dominion Energy, along with partners Michael Woodard, Emilie McNally and Christopher Keegan. Additional key contributors were partners Jay Hughes and Arrion Dennis and associates Emily Blair, Andrew Kintner, Noah Holman and Joseph M. Gaston. The team also included Joseph K. Reid III, Elaine Sanderlin Ryan and Timothy Patterson (regulatory); Robert Wynne (employee benefits); Jon Neal (tax); Lake Taylor and David Rivard (capital markets); Brent Justus (antitrust); and Julia English (FERC).
"This historic transaction represents a defining moment for the utility sector and a significant milestone for Dominion Energy's long-term strategic vision," Katsantonis said. "Navigating a deal of this unprecedented scale and complexity required not only rigorous legal execution but also a forward-looking approach to the evolving energy landscape. Our team is proud to partner with Dominion Energy to achieve this milestone, which sets a new benchmark for the industry and ensures a resilient foundation for the combined company's future operations."

NEW YORK, May 19 -- Hughes Hubbard and Reed, a law firm, issued the following news:
* * *
Hughes Hubbard Forces Dismissal of Consumer Fraud Class Action for Compostic
Highlights
* Plaintiff's counsel voluntarily dismisses major consumer fraud class action in California federal court.
* The Hughes Hubbard team leveraged scientific and technical evidence to support their position.
* Leveraged California statutory safe harbor for "home compostable" claims and recent federal legal authorities highlighting fatal pleading deficiencies.
*
Hughes Hubbard achieved a significant victory for ComposticLimited, a New Zealand-based consumer packaging company, securing the voluntary dismissal of a major putative consumer fraud class action challenging the company's "100% home compostable" product labeling.
The six-count complaint alleged that Compostic's cling wrap products were deceptively marketed as "100% home compostable" in purported violation of California consumer protection laws, including California's Legal Remedies Act, False Advertising Law, and Unfair Competition Act. The complaint relied on assertions that Compostic's products contain polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) and polylactic acid (PLA), and scientific studies supposedly showing that chemical degradants from PBAT and PLA inhibit plant growth. In response, the Hughes Hubbard team developed an aggressive pre motion strategy demonstrating conclusively that the claims lacked legal and factual merit and must be immediately withdrawn.
The team's analysis focused on California's statutory framework governing compostability claims, which provides a safe harbor for products that meet recognized certification standards. Hughes Hubbard showed that Compostic's products hold AS 5810 certification - a standard aligned with certification programs specifically recognized under California law - placing the company squarely within the statutory safe harbor and thus precluding all counts in the complaint - including not only the statutory consumer protection claims but also common law counts for fraud, unjust enrichment, and breach of express warranty.
Hughes Hubbard reinforced its legal position with compelling scientific and technical evidence, including independent laboratory testing confirming that Compostic's products meet rigorous biodegradation, disintegration and chemical safety requirements under multiple internationally recognized compostability standards.
Plaintiff's counsel ultimately filed a notice of voluntary dismissal, ending the case before any motion to dismiss was required.
This case showcased Hughes Hubbard's innovative approach to defending companies facing significant consumer fraud class action lawsuits, fulfilling the client's objectives completely, with maximum efficiency.
Partner Jeremy W. Schulman represented Compostic, with contributions from partners Koushik Bhattacharya and Jeffrey Gavenman.

Fisher Phillips Issues Insight: Big Win for Agricultural Employers - Court Maintains DOL's Game-Changer Rule for H-2A Farmworker Wages Despite UFW Challenge

Big Win for Agricultural Employers: Court Maintains DOL's Game-Changer Rule for H-2A Farmworker Wages Despite UFW Challenge
A federal court in California just delivered a major win to H-2A agricultural employers across the country. After the Department of Labor (DOL) issued an interim final rule in October that significantly changed how the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) is calculated for H-2A job orders, the United Farm Workers filed suit to challenge the rule and asked the court totemporarily block it while the litigation plays out. The court officially denied that request on May 13, allowing the rule to stay in place for now. Here's everything H-2A agricultural employers need to know about this development.
Quick Background
The DOL issued an interim final rule in October that dramatically reshaped the H-2A program's minimum wage policy. Under this framework, the DOL calculates the AEWR for H-2A job orders using a new skill-based and occupation specific wage structure. Learn more here: DOL Issues Game-Changer Rule for H-2A Farmworker Wages: 8 Key Takeaways for Agricultural Employers.
This new interim rule - which in some states and occupations lowers wage costs for H-2A agricultural employers and helps prevent severe labor shortages across the farm industry - was challenged by the United Farm Workers (UFW) in a California federal lawsuit back in November. The UFW waited until December 22to ask the court to temporarily set the rule aside while the lawsuit plays out. Since the US Department of Agriculture had already eliminated the survey used to calculate the AEWR under the old DOL methodology, the UFW also wanted the court to implement an entirely new methodology that the union had created in the meantime.
The federal government opposed the UFW's request for a preliminary injunction, and Fisher Phillips attorneys filed a friend-of-the-court brief on behalf of the National Council of Agricultural Employers and the California Farm Bureau Federation in support of that opposition.
Court Denies UFW's Request to Put the Interim Final Rule on Ice
The court issued an order on May 13 denying the UFW's request for a preliminary injunction, ruling that the union and other individual plaintiffs failed to show that they are likely to suffer irreparable harm without it. In reaching this decision, the court noted that:
* Six of the individual plaintiffs did not indicate that there has been any reduction in their wage rates since the interim final rule took effect, and that one who did failed to show that they have "had any difficulties in paying for costs of living, or suffered any other irreparable harm, due to the wage reductions or IFR."
* The three-month delay between the interim final rule taking effect and the plaintiffs filing a request for the preliminary injunction weighed against finding irreparable harm.
What's Next?
The lawsuit will continue playing out until a court rules on the merits of the UFW's claims, and the October 2025 interim final rule remains in effect until further notice. Stay tuned for updates on this lawsuit and look out for the DOL to replace the interim final rule with a "final" final rule any day now.
It remains to be seen whether the ultimate final rule will reflect any of the comments submitted by worker advocates or industry groups late last year. In the meantime, H-2A employers must be extremely careful about how they construct their job orders for H-2A positions to ensure compliance with the new AEWR methodology. Under the new AEWR rule, new wage and housing data from federal agencies will result in the DOL publishing new H-2A wages effective July 1, 2026. If those "adjusted" wages are lower than those included in H-2A job orders already in effect, there will be no change in the wages paid, but if they are higher, then employers will need to be ready to increase their H-2A wages as of the July 1effective date.
Conclusion
We will continue to monitor workplace law developments impacting agricultural employers. Make sure you are subscribed to Fisher Phillips' Insight System to get the most up-to-date information.
