Administrative & Regulatory Practice

Fellers Snider represents clients before a number of regulatory agencies in connection with a wide variety of matters. Our firm has extensive experience in utility regulation for natural gas, electricity and telecommunications companies, and we have participated in a number of proceedings relating to utility rates and tariffs, operations, wholesale and retail service, terms and conditions of service, rule-making, and fuel and power purchase contracts.
