About

Provided by Baker Botts L.L.P.

Baker Botts’ Energy Practice advises clients across the globe wherever significant energy is produced, supporting high‑profile transactions, complex litigation, and regulatory matters. The team represents a broad range of energy industry participants, including domestic and international oil and gas operators, service companies, pipelines, processors, transporters, distributors, and marketers. The firm brings deep experience across upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors and across nearly all energy types, including oil and gas, LNG, mining and metals, power, renewables, and hydrogen.

The practice focuses on three core areas. In transactions, the firm handles public and private deals across the energy value chain, including joint ventures, investments, financings, and acquisitions and divestitures. In litigation, lawyers represent clients nationwide in significant oil and gas disputes involving issues such as gas flaring, title disputes, nuisance claims, railcar accidents, fracking bans, and natural resource damages under CERCLA. In regulatory matters, Baker Botts regularly appears before FERC, the U.S. Department of the Interior, and state agencies and commissions, as well as federal and state appellate courts, to challenge agency actions and rulings on behalf of clients.

What the Team is Known For

Baker Botts' UK office plays a key role in the law firm's service platform for global energy majors. The London office houses experts on Africa-based projects, and it coordinates with the firm's lawyers in the Middle East, Asia and its US headquarters to advise on the most complex oil and gas and LNG developments.

In jurisdictions where Baker Botts does not have a presence, the firm's clear focus and reputation for excellence in the oil and gas sector ensures it is able to maintain relationships with elite partner firms. In addition to its project development practice, the London office is also recognised for its ability to handle significant international energy sector disputes.
