Paul Murphy reappointed to U.S. Civil Nuclear Trade Advisory Committee

05 December 2016

Paul Murphy, a managing director in Gowling WLG’s Energy Group, has been appointed to the U.S. Civil Nuclear Trade Advisory Committee (CINTAC) for the fourth time.

Operating under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Commerce, CINTAC is tasked with advising the U.S. Secretary of Commerce on a range of trade issues affecting U.S. nuclear exports. The industry panel is composed of nuclear vendors, contractors, scientists, academics, lawyers, consultants and industry representatives.

“It’s a tremendous honour to be appointed to CINTAC,” said Murphy. “The committee offers a valuable forum for the exchange of ideas among key nuclear industry participants, as we collectively look for ways to foster the development of nuclear power generation for the promotion of clean energy, while maintaining the highest standards and practices.”

Murphy’s practice focuses on multiple aspects of nuclear energy law, including project development and financing, international regulatory and treaty frameworks, and nuclear liability issues. His unique industry expertise is frequently sought by several international agencies (including the International Atomic Energy Agency, Nuclear Energy Agency, and International Framework for Nuclear Energy Cooperation), as well as by the U.S. government.

The experienced legal professionals in Gowling WLG’s Nuclear Energy Group deliver hands-on legal and strategic guidance in all aspects of nuclear power operations at every stage — from project development and financing to regulatory affairs. They provide trusted counsel on operating facility compliance, dispute resolution, waste management and decommissioning, and act for a wide range of clients — including providers of equipment, materials and services to the nuclear industry.
