Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie LLP announced Lee Ewing has joined the firm’s Regulatory & Government practice as an associate in the firm’s Denver office with a focus on energy and utility regulation.

Ewing’s practice focuses on wholesale market-based rate filings with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), energy and solar tax-equity transactions, the sale of FERC-jurisdictional assets, and energy market structure issues.

Ewing received his J.D. from the University of Oregon School of Law and his B.S. from the University of Maryland.
