Washington, D.C.
She represents leading and emerging nuclear market participants — including reactor developers, industrial energy users, utilities, investors, and government stakeholders — on high-stakes commercialization strategy and strategic engagement with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Department of Energy (DOE). Amy guides complex regulatory approvals, licensing proceedings, compliance matters, and investigations involving advanced reactors, small modular reactors (SMRs), microreactors, fusion systems, fuel cycle facilities, and space and defense nuclear applications.
Her practice is centered on the commercialization of first-of-a-kind energy technologies, advising companies, investors, and strategic partners on developing innovative regulatory pathways and durable commercial structures that enable deployment. She works with clients to design licensing and business strategies in parallel — aligning regulatory approvals, capital formation, investment structuring, offtake arrangements, and supply chain frameworks to bring advanced nuclear and fusion projects to market.
She also advises on strategic investments in new and existing nuclear projects, with particular focus on the unique business considerations that define the sector, including nuclear liability regimes, export controls, foreign ownership and control, and the evolving deployment landscape. Her work frequently sits at the intersection of nuclear energy with AI infrastructure, industrial decarbonization, space, and defense applications.
Recognized by the Financial Times as one of the Most Innovative Lawyers in Technology and among the top 10 Most Innovative Lawyers in North America, Amy is a trusted voice in global energy innovation. She maintains deep working relationships across DOE, NRC, DoD, State, Commerce, and NASA, and has testified multiple times before the U.S. Congress. Amy is frequently called upon to address issues of grid reliability, decarbonization, national security, and advanced energy deployment, and is consistently ranked by Chambers USA and Chambers Global for Energy: Nuclear (Regulatory & Litigation).
Amy is admitted to practice in the District of Columbia and Massachusetts and serves as a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Center.
