Looking ahead to 2016, federal environmental and energy policies will continue to have a significant impact on businesses across many sectors. That impact will be particularly pronounced as the current Administration aggressively finalizes its regulatory priorities before the next Administration takes office in January 2017. Changes in congressional leadership, electoral politics, court actions, and a host of other factors promise to play a role as well.

We sat down with three partners in Balch & Bingham’s Washington, D.C., office who focus their law practices on federal environmental and energy policy. Each of these attorneys has deep experience serving as counsel on Capitol Hill and in the private sector, providing a unique perspective and targeted insight on the path of many anticipated environmental and energy regulations in a changing political climate.
