Practices
Six practices. One bench.
Matters rarely stay inside one discipline. Ours are staffed from a single bench, so the deal lawyer and the litigator have already met.
- Mergers & AcquisitionsPublic and private transactions, carve-outs, and joint ventures — from the first confidentiality agreement to the last closing condition.
- Private CapitalFund formation, portfolio acquisitions, and management arrangements for sponsors and the families who back them.
- Energy & InfrastructureUpstream, midstream, renewables, and the transmission that ties them together. Development, financing, offtake, and the disputes that follow.
- Complex LitigationCommercial disputes tried to verdict, arbitrations seated anywhere, and the appeals that decide what the trial actually meant.
- Regulatory & InvestigationsGovernment inquiries, internal investigations, and the compliance work that keeps a company out of both.
- Technology & DataLicensing, platform agreements, privacy regimes, and the intellectual property questions a modern balance sheet turns on.
The firm
Partner-led, or it is not led at all.
Every matter is run by a partner who stays on it. Not a pitch partner who introduces the team and disappears — the person who argued the point at the pitch is the person who argues it at the table.
We keep the bench deliberately narrow. It is why a client can reach the lawyer who knows the file on a Sunday, and why we turn down work that belongs somewhere else.

Offices
Texas, and where Texas business goes.
We built the firm around the energy, capital, and technology corridors our clients actually operate in — and kept an office in Washington because that is where the rest of it gets decided.
