Bracewell’s energy transition practice is recognized for guiding some of the most consequential projects shaping the shift to a lower-carbon future. Our team bridges traditional and renewable markets, combining decades of oil and gas experience with market-leading knowledge of renewables, carbon capture, hydrogen and transmission. This unique positioning allows us to anticipate the challenges that arise when conventional energy companies diversify into transition opportunities, while also advising renewable developers, investors and utilities on finance, regulation and project development.

Clients navigating the energy transition seek counsel who combine traditional energy fluency with renewable expertise, understand complex regulation and can advocate effectively in Washington, DC. Bracewell delivers on all of these fronts. Our leadership in CCUS, hydrogen and offshore wind, our regulatory strength at FERC and across federal agencies, and our ability to integrate legal, tax and government affairs services make us distinctive among peer firms. With experience on many of the largest and most innovative projects in the market, we are consistently recognized as a go-to partner for companies advancing the energy transition.
