Bracewell announced Monday that it has added a pair of new partners to its oil and gas transactions group in Houston. Kevin Brophy and Ming Lei bring complementary upstream and midstream practices, advising private equity sponsors, family offices, investment firms and operating companies on oil and gas transactions.
“They have such a strong history in all aspects of energy,” Brophy told Law360. “They have the name brand recognition and the talent to go with it that can help service any oil and gas or other energy needs that our clients may need from finance to tax to environmental to regulatory.”
Brophy said he and Lei were also struck by the longevity of so many of the firm’s lawyers and administrative personnel. “It shows you they have great staying power in the market,” he said.
Lei agreed, adding that she is impressed with the work being done at the firm and “it’s a place where folks can thrive.”
