Carolina de Armas works with Farella Braun + Martel’s renewable energy, wine, and construction clients on a broad range of transactional matters. From mergers and acquisitions to day-to-day business management, including corporate governance, commercial contracts, and equity financings, Carolina helps large and small clients navigate a strategic course efficiently, maximizing opportunity while managing risk.

As a member of the firm’s Energy + Infrastructure group, Carolina works with renewable energy clients buying and selling projects at all stages of development. She also advises energy clients through the project development process, from initial site control through commercial operation. Among other matters, she has worked on several sales of utility-scale solar projects in the Western United States, as well as in Florida, Texas, and South Carolina, and has helped structure and draft development services agreements for an energy client and its developer partners in Mexico.  

As a member of the firm’s Wine practice, Carolina assists the firm’s wine industry clients with mergers and acquisitions and other day-to-day business management. Among other matters, she has negotiated an investment and joint venture agreement for a Mexican tequila company, restructured a large, family-owned wine business to comply with California ABC regulations, and negotiated the sale of a California produce cooperative. 

Carolina is an engaging, purposeful, and efficient advocate. She strives for solutions that are in the client’s best interests and relies on pragmatism and unique strategies rather than default approaches to drafting and negotiation. 

Carolina maintains an active pro bono practice, working with local Bay Area organizations to provide immigration screenings and prepare visa applications.
