The rapid recruitment effort embarked on by Jenner & Block this year continued Friday as the firm brought on Suedeen Kelly, co-chair of the energy regulatory, markets and enforcement practice at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, as a partner in Washington, D.C.

Kelly, a former commissioner at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, is a prominent lawyer in the energy sector, where she focuses her practice on business, enforcement, litigation, policy and regulatory matters for clients in the electric and natural gas industries. Oil infrastructure, hydro-licensing and carbon emissions are some of the areas where Kelly has particular expertise.
