Arguably best known for its record in local intermediate and higher appellate courts, including the Texas Supreme Court, Baker Botts L.L.P.’s Texas-centered team also has experience arguing before all 13 Courts of Appeals, numerous state appellate courts and SCOTUS. The firm’s signature oil and gas expertise ensures that energy-related appeals are a strong suit, with the team recently securing a win for Vitol Americas Corp in the Fourteenth Court of Appeals in a case upholding a $147m breach-of-contract judgment against Targa Channelview. Houston-based Macey Reasoner Stokes heads the appellate practice and led on the Vitol Americas work. Also recommended are Houston’s Aaron Streett, who fronts the Supreme Court and constitutional law group, and Austin-based former Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice, Thomas Phillips.
