International Energy Practice
Counsel to Government Regulators
Several Troutman Sanders attorneys were formerly employed by regulatory bodies and therefore, understand first-hand the concerns of regulators and policy-makers. For example, Dan Larcamp and Co-Practice Group Leader Cliff Sikora, spent years at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in Washington, D.C. Fred Springer has spent substantial time at FERC, while Bill Derasmo and Brandon Marzo have all served at various state commissions, as well.
Having spent substantial time at regulatory agencies, these individuals and other Troutman attorneys are able to advise regulatory bodies on electricity and natural gas regulation and reform. For example, Troutman Sanders attorneys have worked with USAID on electricity sector reforms in Romania, advising the Romanian authorities on a broad range of issues, including the development of form natural gas and electricity trading contracts.

We have also worked with European Federation of Energy Traders and its members in meeting with European Commission representatives on issues relevant to Financial Services and Energy Market regulation, emphasizing the potential impact of European Union Directives on traditional energy companies participating in Europe’s recently liberalized and now increasingly competitively traded energy markets.
