“Taft’s platform and deep bench in the energy group will enable us to access and offer more capabilities and support to our clients,” Nyhart said. “We look forward to collaborating with a diverse and talented team across Taft’s markets.”
Nyhart’s background includes a long tenure at Barnes & Thornburg’s Indianapolis office, where she was a member of the energy, telecommunications, transportation, and utilities department.

Peabody, who has been an attorney for nearly 16 years, advises on legal and regulatory issues for electricity, natural gas, water, and wastewater utilities. His practice includes representing utilities in rate cases, periodic rate adjustment proceedings, and environmental compliance matters before the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. His clients span investor-owned and municipal utilities, nonprofits, and privately held companies.
Taft’s energy group has been on a growth trajectory, with recent additions enhancing its expertise and capabilities. In October 2023, Mark Alson and Kay Pashos joined the group from Ice Miller LLP, further strengthening Taft’s regulatory and utility representation.
