Firm Principals Jim Byrd and Josh Menter have been recognized by Public Utility Fortnightly as 2011 Top Utility Lawyers. The publication chose 25 attorneys for providing outstanding service to the electric and gas industry, in such areas as ratemaking, transmission policy, environmental compliance, finance, M&A, etc. Each year, Fortnightly seeks nominations from executives and regulators in the U.S. utility industry, including energy companies, regulatory agencies, and advocacy groups, and its editorial staff selects the Top Utility Lawyers based on several factors, including the number of nominations received; nominees’ achievements in the context of industry trends, policy developments and case law; and previous inclusion in the Top Utility Lawyers.
