The law firm of Stoel Rrives LLP announced Monday that outgoing FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff will join the practice when he departs the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Wellinghoff submitted his resignation to President Obama on May 28, but no date has been set for his departure (see Daily GPI, May 30). His term as chairman expired in June, but he can continue to serve until Congress adjourns for the year. Stoel Rives, which has offices in Washington, DC, and San Francisco, has nearly 100 attorneys. It has received a prestigious National First-Tier ranking for Energy Law in every edition of the annual U.S. News-Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms” survey, and has been recognized as one of the nation’s best law firms for renewables and alternative energy by independent research Chambers and Partners for four consecutive years, according to Stoel Rives. Obama tapped Wellinghoff as FERC chairman in March 2009. He has served on the Commission since 2006. Wellinghoff has 37 years experience in regulatory, consumer and commercial law.
