As the company's business attorney, Mr. Gould is responsible for handling all legal matters, including negotiation of contracts and coordinating the myriad of activities involved in successful project implementation. Mr. Gould also serves as point person in connection with the financing of existing projects and is the principal architect of the company's current financing structure.
