Dentons
Clint Vince is Chair of Dentons’ U.S. Energy Practice.
Those involved in the energy and utilities industry have heard about the recent Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which overruled Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council. By knocking down Chevron deference, the holding of Loper Bright makes clear that courts no longer must defer to agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes.
Loper Bright is a landmark decision and with expectations of big changes coming, the six to three ruling left many unknowns. One expected result, however, is that lots of litigation is coming regarding regulatory agency decisions.
To gain a better understanding of what the future holds, Public Utilities Fortnightly went to a top expert on energy legal issues. Dentons' U.S. Energy Practice Chair Clint Vince has over forty years of expertise as a leading energy litigator and provided insight as to what to expect post-Chevron.
