Law360 Quotes Andrew Moratzka on Effect of Trump Election on Future Energy Policy

“State and federal energy policy, the electric grid, and utility business model have undergone significant changes during the last 15 or so years. With the election of Donald Trump, change will continue, most likely with respect to the Clean Power Plan and other energy policy reforms. But neither the timing nor the extent of those reforms is presently known.”

—Drew Moratzka quoted by Law360.

Stoel Rives attorney Andrew Moratzka was interviewed by Law360 for an article titled “BigLaw Reacts To Trump's Election To The White House.” Moratzka and attorneys from other large law firms were asked for their thoughts on the effect the Trump presidency may have on the regulatory landscape and what it will mean for their practices and clients. 

Moratzka, chair of the firm’s Energy Development practice, says he sees the firm’s initial activities in the coming year as focusing on “counseling our clients on the existing uncertainty so that they are well-positioned to respond to the measures put forth by the new administration and understand how those measures could impact their business and investments.”
