Andy is the former managing partner of the Washington, DC office of Hunton & Williams LLP. For the past 35 years, Andy’s practice has focused on environmental and administrative law, with an emphasis on representation of clients in federal and state enforcement actions brought by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) under the Clean Air Act, in federal rulemakings and litigation arising under the Clean Air Act, and in a full range of Clean Air Act permitting matters. Most notably, she has served as lead counsel for industry in complex litigation in the United States Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in numerous precedential environmental law cases, both challenging and supporting USEPA regulatory initiatives. Her representative clients include electric generating companies, chemical companies, pulp and paper mills, coal facilities, refineries, cement-manufacturing facilities, and flexible packaging companies.

Andy’s work has garnered her numerous awards and professional recognition. She was the first woman elected to chair the American Bar Association’s Environment, Energy and Resources Section (1989-1990). She has been listed in The Best Lawyers in America for Environmental Law since 1989; has been listed in Chamber USA since 2003; has since 2004 made the list of “Top Lawyers” by Washingtonian magazine for her work in environmental law; and was named a “Star of the Bar” in 2005 by the Women’s Bar Association of the District of Columbia. Andy also frequently speaks on and has published numerous articles concerning Clean Air Act regulatory and litigation issues.
