Greenberg Traurig has added former Florida Public Service Commissioner Andrew Fay as of counsel in its Tallahassee office, continuing the expansion of the firm’s Government Law & Policy Practice.
Fay served on the PSC for eight years, including as Chair for 2022-24. During his tenure at the PSC, Fay oversaw regulation of electric, gas, water, and wastewater utilities, managed a staff of 275, and played a central role in policy decisions involving storm protection, nuclear decommissioning, and electric utility cost recovery. He also led efforts to modernize Florida’s Relay services law to accommodate emerging communications technologies.
“Andrew’s deep understanding of legislative and regulatory processes at both the state and national levels, combined with his relationships with key stakeholders, makes him a valuable addition to our Tallahassee office and Government Law & Policy Practice,” said David Ashburn, managing shareholder of Greenberg Traurig’s Tallahassee office.
“His extensive government and legal experience, particularly his focus on regulation and compliance, will allow him to provide clients with comprehensive legal guidance that anticipates and addresses their needs from every angle.”
Fay previously served as special counsel to now-U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi when she was Florida’s Attorney General, where he helped advance more than a dozen legislative initiatives and advised on major state bond financing. He also managed victim compensation efforts following the Pulse Nightclub attack.
“It’s exciting to return to Greenberg Traurig, where I started my career as a legislative analyst, an experience that was instrumental in shaping my interest in the legal profession,” Fay said.
“The firm’s collaborative culture, expansive platform, and commitment to guiding clients through technology-driven regulatory change set it apart as a law firm of the future. I look forward to working alongside talented colleagues to help our clients address their most complex challenges and achieve their goals in Florida and beyond.”
