Demonstrating extensive expertise in the energy and infrastructure industries, the practice at Vinson & Elkins LLP routinely does a ‘great job of finding solutions’, providing bespoke advice on all elements of M&A and corporate transactions. In addition to advising on high-value business combinations and acquisitions in the oil and gas spaces, the team also handles a growing volume of transactions and joint ventures for energy providers and infrastructure funds in connection with renewable energy projects and developments. Operating out of Houston, Stephen Gill, who is an expert on securities offerings and corporate governance matters, co-heads the team with Sarah Morgan, who frequently represents public companies and investment banks in connection with capital raising transactions, and Dallas-based partner John Grand, who primarily advises on joint ventures and divestitures.

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘V&E is a bit of a hidden gem. Everyone knows they are really good at energy deals, but they also do a great job with large transactions (and middle market transactions) in other industries.’

  • ‘I have worked with V&E for nearly a decade, and they are my go-to firm for all corporate matters. The team is knowledgeable, responsive, detailed, but most importantly commercial and understands our business and priorities.'
