What types of clients do you represent?

I represent electric utility companies with a primary focus on nuclear plant owners and operators.
What do you find most exciting about your work?

The most exciting part of my work is assisting our clients with the vast array of legal challenges that face diverse utility companies. Our clients must address interconnected contractual and regulatory issues. Helping our clients through every step of the process, from construction to operations, is something that I take great pride in and find very exciting.
What legal challenges are you looking forward to tackling in the future?

I am looking forward to tackling issues arising from an expanding and growing regulatory landscape. As regulations evolve it is important to help our clients fully and adequately address the legal challenges that will arise.
What type of matters do you work on most often?

I most often help our clients on compliance matters before the NRC. I also assist our clients through complex contractual issues.
