Our presence in Texas spans more than 50 years with offices in Austin, Dallas,
and Houston.
Collectively, our Texas lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to public
and private businesses across all industry sectors on national and international
matters, in addition to those involving Texas-specific law. From lobbying and
legislative counseling (including media relations and community outreach), to
oil and gas litigation, to private funds, to cross-border transactions, to Texas
state and local taxes, our team collaborates across our fully integrated offices
within Texas and around the world to handle our clients’ most complex
legal issues.
Our Houston office, which opened in 2013, is located in one of the country's
most diversified regional economies and populations.
As the largest inland port in the United States, Houston serves as a critical
gateway for trade and investment in the energy, commodity trading, and shipping
and transportation industries. In addition, Houston is a hub for healthcare and
technology development, with the largest international medical center and
healthcare technology industry in the world. Because of its strategic location
and the experience of our lawyers in energy law, intellectual property, and
finance, our Houston office has become a linchpin for the firm’s Energy,
Infrastructure, and Resources practice, which allows collaboration with other
offices across our global platform on US and cross-border investments,
transactions, and disputes in a variety of industry sectors.
Our Houston lawyers are highly experienced in advising companies on all types of
mergers, acquisitions, and dispositions, as well as on corporate and capital
market transactions, with particular emphasis on energy transactions. We have
deep experience serving the upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas
sectors on both US and international transactions, as well as in US and
cross-border dispute resolution. Our lawyers advise private and public companies
in oil and gas production, project development, service, refining, and
marketing. Additionally, our lawyers handle liquefied natural gas and maritime,
commodity trading, and power generation and offtake transactions. On the power
side, our Houston lawyers advise clients and businesses around the world in
electric utility and renewable energy projects, including national and
international joint ventures, debt and equity offerings, project development,
project finance, and more.
Our Houston litigation experience spans a broad range of commercial disputes,
including disputes arising from the energy, manufacturing, labor and employment,
healthcare, and pharmaceutical sectors. Our Litigation and Dispute
Resolution lawyers are highly experienced in US and international
arbitrations and dispute resolutions, in the enforcement of US judgments and
awards overseas, and in foreign judgments and awards within the United States.
We also represent clients, lenders, and purchasers in bankruptcy and
restructuring transactions and litigation matters.
