For over 20 years, Brad Benoit has maintained a practice that serves both plaintiffs and defendants, something that sets him apart from many other litigators. This balance helps him see both sides of a case more clearly and provide his clients with a broader approach to complex commercial litigation. Following along with Bracewell’s core strengths, Brad focuses on representing clients in energy-related litigation, securities/derivative litigation, and bankruptcy-related litigation.

In energy disputes, Brad has represented virtually every area of the oil and gas and power industries, including E&P companies, pipeline companies, drilling companies, refiners, chemical plants, power plant owners, private equity investors, and oilfield service and supply companies. His securities and derivative litigation experience includes defending claims to enjoin M&A transactions, defending federal securities claims, and defending claims of breach of fiduciary duty. In bankruptcy-related litigation, Brad has represented debtors and creditors in complex commercial litigation, including representing litigation trusts in claims against former equity owners, directors and officers of insolvent entities.

In addition to his client responsibilities, Brad serves as chair of the firm’s energy litigation practice group.
