McGuireWoods Welcomes Jeremy Medovoy

In a notable expansion of its energy enforcement capabilities, McGuireWoods has recently welcomed Jeremy Medovoy as a new partner in its Washington, D.C. office. Medovoy, who previously held the position of Deputy Director at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Office of Enforcement, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the firm, having actively shaped the regulatory landscape over his impressive 16-year tenure at FERC.

The Background of a Top Enforcer

Medovoy's career has been marked by significant achievements within FERC, where he was instrumental in overseeing the agency's enforcement program. This included everything from leading investigations and litigation to conducting audits and market surveillance. His comprehensive understanding of the regulatory environment, coupled with his ability to collaborate closely with federal agencies and industry stakeholders, places him in a unique position to advise clients navigating the complexities of energy regulation.

Noreen Kelly, McGuireWoods' deputy managing partner for litigation, emphasized that Medovoy's insider perspective on FERC's priorities will be invaluable for clients aiming to develop effective compliance programs. With a track record of excellence through varying governmental administrations, Medovoy is an asset to any team.

Enhancing Client Services

At McGuireWoods, Medovoy will advise clients on critical matters before not just FERC, but also the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation. His arrival strengthens the firm’s already robust energy regulatory and enforcement practice, which has recently gained recognition for its effective handling of compliance and risk mitigation strategies.

Todd Mullins, co-leader of the energy regulatory and enforcement practice group at McGuireWoods, highlighted that Medovoy played pivotal roles in high-profile cases and policy initiatives at FERC, earning the respect of peers within the energy law sector. His keen ability to devise innovative solutions to complex legal challenges is anticipated to greatly benefit clients.

Medovoy’s addition follows a series of strategic hires at McGuireWoods, including that of David Martin Connelly, another highly regarded energy regulatory lawyer. These developments signal a robust commitment to being at the forefront of energy law and regulation, and Medovoy is enthusiastic about working alongside some of the industry’s top practitioners to advance clients’ business objectives.

“I am excited to join McGuireWoods, known for its top-tier energy practice and respected professionals,” stated Medovoy. His presence not only augments the energy regulatory team but showcases the firm's dedication to offering comprehensive legal services across various sectors.
