A seasoned attorney backed by years of expertise, Ms. Sherman represents clients in the clean energy and natural resources sector as senior policy counsel for Van Ness Feldman LLP. In this capacity, she expands the firm’s presence along the Gulf Coast, offers guidance in policy formulation and strategy, and focuses on concerns related to ports, waterways, maritime interests, infrastructure, and the transition to clean energy.

During the early stages of her career, Ms. Sherman gained valuable expertise as the owner of Sherman Law Firm, LLC, and as an associate attorney with Andry Law Firm, Burglass & Tankersley LLC, and Beahm & Green. An expert in her field, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Government from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Subsequently, Ms. Sherman expanded her professional knowledge by completing civil law coursework at Louisiana State University and a JD specializing in healthcare and medical malpractice from the South Texas College of Law.
