For the second year in a row, McGuireWoods Richmond partner Andrew F. Gann Jr. has been named to the Lawdragon 500 Global Leaders in Crisis Management, a guide recognizing accomplished lawyers who lead clients through high-stakes investigations, litigation and multidimensional crises.
Gann is a member of McGuireWoods’ nationally recognized Crisis Management & Incident Response Practice Group. He represents energy companies in incident response and crisis management, including legal and regulatory challenges related to wildfires, pipeline incidents, and battery energy storage system thermal runaway events. He has deep experience guiding clients through multidistrict litigation, punitive damages exposure, and investigations by federal and state regulators, including the National Transportation Safety Board, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, public utility commissions, and state attorneys general.
“Drew’s ability to manage complex litigation and navigate challenging regulatory landscapes makes him an invaluable resource to our clients,” said Benjamin L. Hatch, chair of McGuireWoods’ Environmental & Mass Tort Department. “We congratulate him on this well-deserved honor.”
McGuireWoods’ Crisis Management & Incident Response Practice Group brings together top attorneys in environmental enforcement, class action and mass tort litigation, white collar defense and strategic communications. The team helps clients confront and contain legal, regulatory and reputational fallout from catastrophic events while managing long-term risks such as government investigations, shareholder actions and litigation exposure.
