Jenner & Block has strengthened its Washington office by welcoming back Zachary Schauf as a partner. Schauf returns to the firm, this time bringing his expertise in energy, appellate and Supreme Court matters, as well as government controversies and public policy. His addition is expected to benefit the firm’s strategic expansion efforts in these key practice areas.
Schauf’s recent tenure at the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel provided him with extensive experience that he is anticipated to leverage in his role at Jenner & Block. According to the firm, he will predominantly focus on advising clients involved in energy policy and regulation. His responsibilities will include representing clients on issues such as market design, carbon regulation, and transmission policy, particularly in proceedings before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency, and state public utility commissions.
The move highlights Jenner & Block’s commitment to enhancing its capabilities in navigating the complex regulatory landscape at both federal and state levels. Schauf’s presence at the firm is poised to offer substantial expertise to clients facing challenges in the evolving energy sector.
