Vinson & Elkins LLP

Vinson & Elkins LLP‘s energy regulatory practice handles transactions and enforcement proceedings alongside transmission projects and rate cases for a variety of clients, often appearing before the DOE, FERC, as well as the PUCT. Houston-based James Seegers and Suzanne Clevenger act as co-heads of the team and have extensive experience advising clients in the energy space. The practice expanded notably at the beginning of 2023 with the addition of a team from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP to the DC office, including FERC experts Jeffrey Jakubiak and William Sherman, with the latter completing the group’s trio of practice heads. John Decker is noted for his expertise in regulatory matters concerning both the electric power and natural gas sectors.
