Expert Guidance Through a Complex Energy Regulatory Matter

Our company faced a significant challenge with a state regulatory commission regarding electricity transmission rates. We engaged Andrew Tunnell based on his long-standing recognition in Energy Law. His three decades of experience, particularly his deep focus on electricity matters, were immediately evident. Mr. Tunnell guided us with a strategic, calm professionalism that instilled confidence throughout the lengthy process. He distilled complex legal and regulatory issues into clear, actionable advice. The positive resolution we achieved was a direct result of his expertise and diligent advocacy. His background from Balch & Bingham and recognition as a top attorney in this field are well-deserved. We are deeply grateful for his exceptional service.
