James Danly, a former Republican Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) member and one-time chairman, has made a return to Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP. Prior to his appointment at FERC, Danly served as a general counsel for the commission. This move was announced on Tuesday and marks his taking the helm of the firm’s energy regulatory group.
This appointment coincides with the increasing demand for energy attorneys in the private sector, particularly in the nation’s capital. With his wealth of experience and proven expertise in regulatory matters, Danly is well-positioned to lead the team amidst the rapidly evolving energy landscape.
Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP has not released a statement detailing Danly’s role and responsibilities. However, we expect his extensive knowledge of the FERC operations and broad legal experience will be instrumental in guiding the firm’s clients through complex regulatory issues regarding energy production and distribution.
