BALTIMORE, (JUNE 12, 2024) – In joining Saul Ewing as a new partner, Carville B. Collins brings the firm’s clients more than 30 years of experience representing energy, water and other regulated businesses seeking a wide array of approvals from Maryland regulators. His practice also includes work in public law, ethics and legislation. He is resident in Saul Ewing’s Baltimore office.
Clients – including gas, electric and other utilities as well as renewable energy companies – rely on Mr. Collins to represent them before the Public Service Commission of Maryland in requests for rate and tariff revisions, merger and acquisition approvals, and renewable energy facility certifications, credits and subsidies. He also assists with rights-of-way disputes, regulated utility CPCNs and other registrations and certifications, and franchise rights and fee adjustments. In addition, Mr. Collins handles appeals of Commission decisions in both trial and appellate courts.
Mr. Collins is also a registered Maryland lobbyist who represents clients in legislative and governmental matters before the Maryland General Assembly and state government. He also draws on this deep knowledge of government to advise businesses and trade associations who interact with federal, state and local governments on campaign finance, election law and public ethics law.
“We are thrilled to welcome Carville to Saul Ewing,” said Baltimore Office Managing Partner Jonathan Havens. “Carville has an outstanding reputation in the Maryland regulatory community. Not only will he elevate our practice before the Maryland Public Service Commission, but he will also deepen our capacity to represent clients in the traditional utility and renewable energy industries, particularly in offshore wind projects. His more than 30 years of energy policy experience combined with the deep relationships from his lobbying and public law work truly solidify Saul Ewing as a stand-out energy and environmental firm guiding clients through energy challenges across the state and country.”
Mr. Collins added, “Saul Ewing provides a strong platform for me to continue developing my legal practice in energy regulation, public utilities, legislation, and public law. I look forward to working with my new partners, particularly in the Energy Practice and the Maryland office. Together, we will be able to assist our clients with building new energy infrastructure projects and taking on emerging energy challenges across the state and country. Clients have a continuum of needs through out these complex projects, and Saul Ewing’s position as a full-service law firm ensures we can represent them with our combined capabilities, including in policy, regulatory, real estate, environmental, corporate and litigation matters.”
Mr. Collins’ work in public law also includes serving as legal counsel to political candidates at all levels of government and for both major parties.
Mr. Collins earned his J.D. from University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law. He also has an A.B. from Duke University.
