HOUSTONLaw360 named Bracewell LLP to its 2024 Texas Regional Powerhouse list, which recognized the state’s leading firms brokering “major deals, ending contract disputes … and representing both traditional oil and gas clients and renewable energy companies.” This year marks the second time in three years the firm has been named a Texas Powerhouse.

In a feature touting Bracewell’s prowess in Texas, Law360 spotlighted the firm’s success in the courtroom, including multiple wins for clients in litigation arising from Winter Storm Uri and its appellate team’s landmark Seventh Circuit win representing two Texas residents in a sex-trafficking lawsuit against Salesforce (G.G. et al. v. Salesforce.com Inc.), as well as a string of high-profile transactions, such as Phillips 66’s $3.8 billion acquisition of DCP Midstream and Kinder Morgan in its pore space lease of 10,800 acres near the Houston Ship Channel.

Bracewell’s market leadership in Texas stems from its energy excellence and makes it the “firm of choice for the full array of energy-related transactions and legal and regulatory matters,” Law360 wrote.

“In the energy field, I think that there’s no one that’s as deep as we are,” appellate litigator Warren W. Harris told Law360. “We are chock-full of Texas lawyers who have practiced here their entire careers and dealt with Texas clients.”

Banking and finance partner Stephanie Koo Song added, “Energy is a vibrant, diverse industry, especially in Texas,” and we help “clients navigate everything from traditional oil and gas deals to carbon capture and sequestration and renewable energy projects.”
