He advises clients across a range of heavily regulated industries, offering strategic counsel on environmental law, campaign finance, and regulatory compliance and advocacy. With a deep understanding of the intersection between law, policy, and complex regulatory landscapes, Dennis helps clients manage legal risk and maintain compliance across federal and state jurisdictions. His practice includes counseling on federal environmental laws and regulations, state and federal campaign finance and ethics rules, Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) obligations, fisheries law, and forced labor investigations. Dennis’s multidisciplinary approach supports clients navigating evolving legal frameworks and enforcement priorities. Dennis’s perspective is shaped by prior roles as a law clerk at the Federal Election Commission, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Reform, and the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals, where he gained firsthand experience with administrative law, government investigations, and regulatory oversight. ### Related Services - [Environmental](https://www.kelleydrye.com/practices/environmental) - [State and Federal Regulation and Restrictions on Foreign Interests in Real Estate](https://www.kelleydrye.com/practices/state-and-federal-regulation-and-restrictions-on-foreign-interests-in-real-estate) - [Environmental Regulation](https://www.kelleydrye.com/practices/environmental-regulation) - [Campaign Finance and Political Law](https://www.kelleydrye.com/practices/campaign-finance-and-political-law) - [Fisheries](https://www.kelleydrye.com/industries/fisheries) - [Foreign Agents Registration Act](https://www.kelleydrye.com/practices/foreign-agents-registration-act) - [White Collar, Investigations and Compliance](https://www.kelleydrye.com/practices/white-collar-investigations-and-compliance) - [Government Relations and Public Policy](https://www.kelleydrye.com/practices/government-relations-and-public-policy) - [International Trade](https://www.kelleydrye.com/practices/international-trade) - [Customs](https://www.kelleydrye.com/practices/customs) - [Forced Labor Trade Enforcement](https://www.kelleydrye.com/trending/forced-labor-trade-enforcement) ### Education The George Washington University Law School, 2024 J.D. with honors University of Connecticut, B.A., 2020 Political Science ### Admissions District of Columbia, 2024 ### Courts U.S. Court of Appeals–District of Columbia Blog [ ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-rectangles/Blog_Post_Listing.svg) ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-Images/lab_equipment_LISTING2.webp?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=750&q=80&w=1125&s=a97a335c5b56ea70a3e1c61326e7da50) ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints/blogs/kelley-green-law/epa-again-delays-tsca-pfas-reporting-with-new-exemptions-and-revised-deadlines) Kelley Green Law April 13, 2026 [ ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints/blogs/kelley-green-law/epa-again-delays-tsca-pfas-reporting-with-new-exemptions-and-revised-deadlines) Blog [ ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-rectangles/Blog_Post_Listing.svg) ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-Images/lab_equipment_LISTING2.webp?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=750&q=80&w=1125&s=a97a335c5b56ea70a3e1c61326e7da50) ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints/blogs/kelley-green-law/the-proliferation-of-state-level-regulation-of-pfas-in-consumer-products-continues-in-washington-new-jersey-and-pennsylvania) Kelley Green Law January 20, 2026 [ ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints/blogs/kelley-green-law/the-proliferation-of-state-level-regulation-of-pfas-in-consumer-products-continues-in-washington-new-jersey-and-pennsylvania) Blog [ ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-rectangles/Blog_Post_Listing.svg) ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-Images/lab_equipment_LISTING2.webp?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=750&q=80&w=1125&s=a97a335c5b56ea70a3e1c61326e7da50) ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints/blogs/kelley-green-law/minnesota-finalizes-pfas-reporting-system) Kelley Green Law December 16, 2025 [ ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints/blogs/kelley-green-law/minnesota-finalizes-pfas-reporting-system) [View all related viewpoints](https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints?teamMember=Mema%3ADennis++Mema#listing)
