Houston

Harnessing our reserve of talent, we work together seamlessly to serve clients in the energy industry — one of the key focuses for the firm in Houston — assisting in both the upstream and midstream/downstream sectors. Our team has a formidable reserve of knowledge and experience in the energy market, including co-generation and other traditional power projects, LNG terminals, pipelines, refining and chemicals, power generation drilling rigs, seismic vessels, and other energy and infrastructure projects. We have also assisted clients with renewable and energy transition projects, including those in the areas of wind, solar, geothermal, nuclear, biofuels, biomass, and waste energy.

The diversified experience of transactional, regulatory, and litigation practices in the Houston office mirrors the firm’s overall combination of multiple legal disciplines. Our transactional lawyers have global experience in syndicated lending transactions, including energy financings, master limited partnership (MLP) financings, mergers and acquisitions, private placements, public offerings, structured financings, shelf take-down project financings, reorganizations, multi-currency financings, and highly leveraged transactions.

Many of our lawyers practice before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, state regulatory commissions, federal and state appellate and lower courts, as well as the U.S. Departments of Transportation, Energy, and State. Our litigation lawyers have broad experience in prosecution and defense of energy, securities, and professional liability litigation in both federal and state courts. We also have particular experience with litigation and dispute resolution, often representing entities from Mexico and other Latin American countries in litigation matters throughout the United States.
