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.
