It is with great pleasure that we announce that Karen O’Neill has joined Gravel and Shea as a shareholder.

Karen brings with her a wealth of experience in business, human resource management and the energy industry and will be a tremendous addition to the firm.  Karen moved to Vermont over twenty years ago after serving as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia to work as in-house counsel and, later, vice president of human resources and organizational development for Green Mountain Power Corporation.  She subsequently led the legislative and regulatory affairs team for its spin-off national renewable energy marketing company, Green Mountain Energy Company, for a number of years.  Karen received her B.A. degree from the University of Pennsylvania and her J.D. degree from George Washington University.

At Gravel and Shea, Karen is concentrating her practice in the areas of employment and labor law, energy law, utility regulation and dispute resolution.
