"Vastly experienced energy attorney and 'well placed to advise clients on the major issues currently affecting the industry.'"
Chambers Global
Change is driving every part of the energy industry, and the solutions to today's problems require broad perspective and insight. Mary Anne Sullivan's deep experience and her sharp focus on regulatory trends enable her to provide advice that is both shaped by an understanding of the interrelationships across energy markets and adapted to the demands of the future.
Mary Anne's practice spans the energy spectrum. With her past government service as general counsel of the U.S. Department of Energy and her knowledge of the industry, she uses regulatory tools to advance her clients' interests. Whether in the development of new electric transmission for low carbon energy, LNG projects, new nuclear reactor technology, advanced biofuels, novel approaches to demand response, offshore wind development, electric vehicles or new efficiency standards, Mary Anne helps her clients navigate the challenges and find the benefits in the inexorable move to lower carbon energy options. She is at her best when helping her clients tackle their "one off" problems and succeed in their first-of-a-kind projects.
Mary Anne regularly writes and speaks on energy issues. Recognition by her peers includes invited speaker at the 2015 World Sustainability Conference in Abu Dhabi; speaker at the American Wind Energy 2018 Annual Conference, selection as a C3E Ambassador for the DOE/MIT Women in Clean Energy Initiative; and member of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Technology Partnerships Advisory Board.
