Kevin Voelkel advises clients on complex environmental issues at the intersection of law and policy, including environmental litigation, the negotiation and implementation of consent decrees and government investigations. Kevin routinely represents companies in the chemical, offshore exploration and development, natural gas and liquids pipelines, and energy transition sectors in matters involving the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Energy and the Department of Justice. Through this representation, Kevin has developed a deep knowledge of industrial processes, process safety, business impacts and environmental management, which facilitates his informed perspective in administrative and judicial proceedings and on strategic business planning, transaction advice, regulatory reporting and compliance.

Prior to joining Bracewell, he developed significant experience in the energy industry, including at the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (the leading trade association for interstate gas pipelines) and in legal internships at the North American Electric Reliability Corporation and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. Kevin has built upon this experience at Bracewell and focuses his work on the intersection of technical environmental and policy issues.
