Hunton amp; Williams LLP announces the Hon. Michael A. Andrews and the Hon. Andrew Pickens Miller have joined the firm's government relations practice, based in Washington. Andrews, a former Democratic Congressman from the 25th Congressional District in Texas who sat on the House Committee on Ways and Means, was an independent government relations consultant before joining the firm. Miller, a former Virginia Attorney General, comes to the firm from Powell Goldstein LLP (now Bryan Cave LLP).
The addition of these two professionals builds upon our strong presence in the energy, environmental, and climate change arenas, and will serve as a complement to the wealth of experience for which our broader regulatory practice is known, said Joseph C. Stanko, Jr., who heads the firm's government relations practice. Both Michael and Andrew will provide clients with key perspectives on many issues critical to doing business in the emerging regulatory climate.
Andrews will continue to focus on public policy, with an emphasis on energy issues and federal taxation, and to provide key strategic advice and representation on matters before the Congress. He was a member of Congress from 1983 to 1994, serving as president of his freshman Democratic class, and receiving several awards for legislative work, including being named one of Congress' Rising Stars in 1990 by the National Journal. Andrews received an undergraduate degree from the University of Texas and a law degree from the Southern Methodist University. He is a member of the District of Columbia and Texas Bar associations.
Miller's decades-long practice focuses on state-based issues and litigation affecting agricultural corporations, electric utilities, financial service organizations, pharmaceutical companies, telecommunications firms and trade associations. Miller received his undergraduate degree magna cum laude from Princeton University and his law degree from the University of Virginia. He is a member of the American Bar Foundation and the Virginia Bar Association.
