King & Spalding LLP

Trusted by some of the market’s premium oil and gas operators and producers, King & Spalding LLP regularly acts on large-scale project financings and developments, advising on mandates not only in the domestic space but in wider jurisdictions such as South America, Asia and the Middle East. The team is well versed advising on EPC agreements, construction contracts, and transportation, supply and product offtake arrangements – amongst others – while counting joint ventures and debt and equity restructurings as part of a diverse array of workstreams that also includes entrenched M&A capabilities. Recent key matters have involved carbon capture and storage, blue hydrogen and ammonia production facilities, renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel facilities, as well as floating LNG projects. Spearheading the group is Stuart Zisman who offers a wide range of corporate transaction and advisory support, particularly in regard to midstream and downstream. Peter Hays is noted for ‘his eye for detail’ and ’ability to efficiently simplify and capture complex commercial terms’, and is often sought out for hydrocarbon transactions across the entire value chain. David Lang is another name of note, offering highly valued LNG expertise. Mitchell Tiras joined the team in August 2023 from Locke Lord LLP, offering deep experience in the energy and renewables transactions and funds space. All individuals are based in Houston.
