David Applebaum, the former head of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) division of investigations, has recently been appointed as a partner at Baker Botts. The announcement was made public in a statement issued by the firm on Monday.
At Baker Botts, Applebaum will be a part of the energy litigation practice group, based in their Houston office. His practice areas will encompass energy industry enforcement, compliance, internal investigations, audits, litigation, regulatory, and policy matters.
This new addition to Baker Botts comes as a reinforcement for their expertise in dealing with complex regulatory and compliance issues associated with the energy industry. It is an important strategic move that will likely make the firm more capable of handling issues related to FERC enforcement and energy litigation.
Applebaum has a proven track record in energy regulatory affairs, which he has acquired through his experience operating at FERC. His specialization and previous regulatory experience place him in an exceptional position to lead the firm’s energy litigation practice.
