A former senior EPA enforcement adviser is joining the environmental practice at the law firm Crowell & Moring.
Stacey Geis, former deputy assistant administrator at EPA, has joined the firm’s environment, energy and natural resources and white collar and regulatory enforcement groups as senior counsel in the San Francisco office.
Geis recently served at EPA headquarters as a senior adviser, then as a deputy assistant administrator. The firm says that during her tenure, Geis helped lead the 2,800-person enforcement and compliance assurance office, addressing climate change, PFAS (also known as “forever chemicals”), and the revitalization of EPA’s enforcement and compliance programs.
Geis also implemented two recent Supreme Court decisions: Sackett v. EPA, which limited the definition of wetlands under the Clean Water Act, and SEC v. Jarkesy, which limited the scope of federal administrative proceedings.
