Jenner & Block, having just recruited Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld’s energy regulatory co-chair Suedeen Kelly, is building out a new practice group after adding two more lawyers with experience at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
The move marks Jenner & Block’s third new practice area in almost as many months, as the firm launched an aerospace and aviation practice in late March after bringing on three lawyers in Chicago and Washington, D.C. Last week, Jenner & Block picked up a public international law practice after hiring partner Patrick Pearsall in the nation’s capital, where he was most recently chief of investment arbitration at the U.S. Department of State.
