HARRISBURG, Pa. — (December 4, 2023) McNees is pleased to announce that veteran energy attorney Charis Mincavage is the firm’s newest member, effective Jan. 1, 2024.
Mincavage practices in the firm’s Energy and Environmental Law Group, counseling clients on the business, regulatory and legal requirements of the constantly changing energy landscape.
