Greenberg Traurig Recruits NRC Veteran to Lead Nuclear Practice Expansion

Gendelman’s tenure at the NRC, which began in 2008, spanned roles from health physicist to deputy assistant general counsel. This background provides him with a granular view of the nuclear lifecycle, covering everything from initial mining and enrichment to the complexities of waste disposal. At Greenberg Traurig, he will operate across both the Energy & Natural Resources and Litigation practices, advising clients on licensing, regulatory compliance, and enforcement proceedings.

Executive Chairman Richard A. Rosenbaum noted that as nuclear energy becomes a cornerstone of sustainable power, clients require counsel who bridge the gap between technical reality and federal oversight. Gendelman joins a growing international team, including Konrad Kosicki in Warsaw and Stephen J. Horvath III in London, as part of a broader firm-wide expansion that has added over a dozen energy-focused lawyers in the past year. Gendelman, who is admitted to practice in Connecticut, will limit his Washington-based work to federal courts and agency matters.
