Rodney Moore
Winston & Strawn LLPWinston & Strawn LLP continues to operate across the entire oil and gas value chain, where it notably advises a deep roster of midstream clients on a number of transactions and financing matters related to crude oil gathering, natural gas gathering and processing, and LNG projects. In the upstream space, the team is also consistently assisting with acquisitions and dispositions, joint development, exploration and participation agreements. The firm’s energy and infrastructure industry group is jointly spearheaded by corporate finance and securities law expert Mike Blankenship in Houston and New York-based Mike Pikiel and Rich Shutran. From Dallas, Rodney Moore and Larry Murphy regularly handle a range of M&A, joint venture, and financing transactions in both the traditional upstream and midstream sectors and in the evolving transitional energy space, areas in which Houston-based Chris Ferazzi is also well-versed. Isaac Griesbaum left the firm to move in-house in September 2023.
