Launch of Energy Transactions Practice with 3-Person Team Earns Top Media Coverage

The move of partner Chris Cottrell and two associates to launch Seyfarth’s Energy Transactions practice, received strong media coverage, including The Texas Lawyer, Texas Law Book, Law360, Bloomberg Law, Global Legal Chronicle, Reuters' Westlaw Today, and Bloomberg Law Wake Up Call. The articles spotlighted how the team is well-regarded for its extensive experience in the oil and gas industry and how its practice centers on mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and general corporate and commercial matters, with a focus on serving oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) companies, oilfield technology service companies, mineral and royalty acquisition companies, midstream companies, family offices, and private equity clients.

Cottrell stated:

“I felt that Seyfarth's approach, their platform, their focus on technology and their unique service model was a really incredible opportunity, but you combine that with the focus on expansion in Texas, it just felt like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something big."
