Washington, D.C. – May 2, 2022 – Winston & Strawn LLP announced today the addition of Thomas R. Millar as a partner in the Washington, D.C., office. Tom will be joining the firm as a member of the Corporate practice with a special focus in the firm’s Energy & Infrastructure industry group.

Tom brings extensive experience in corporate and financial transactions and handles a broad array of power and gas matters before federal courts, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the Department of Justice.
