Amy Roma is a Partner and the Global Energy Practice Leader at the international law firm Hogan Lovells. In her practice, Amy advises clients on a wide range of legal, business, and policy matters involving the nuclear fission and fusion industry—with a focus on deploying first-of-a-kind or complex projects. She has testified before Congress several times on nuclear energy and fusion issues and was recognized as one of the “Top 10 Most Innovative Lawyers” in North America by the Financial Times, and again as the “Most Innovative Lawyer in Technology” for her work to enable mass deployment of microreactors and fusion facilities. The National Law Journal has declared her as a Top 50 “great mind impacting the crucial intersection of energy production and the environment."
Amy has also led a number of high impact humanitarian initiatives, included leading the legal efforts to send the New England Patriots’ private team plane to China in March 2020 to pick up and donate nearly two million N95 masks, and spearheading a number of high-risk evacuations and resettlements from Afghanistan. In addition to her JD, Amy holds an MBA with a focus in finance and leadership from the University of Virginia.
