Jones Day‘s Houston team advises energy clients on high-profile oil and gas transactions across the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors. With a strong presence in key global energy hubs, the firm counsels on M&A, joint ventures, and regulatory approvals, including FERC and antitrust matters. The practice is led by Jeff Schlegel, whose broad capabilities encompass company acquisitions and asset investments across oil and gas, petrochemicals, and the energy transition. James Olson’s regulatory expertise is integral to the firm’s complex M&A deals, while Kit Rockhill is noted for her proficiency in acquisitions and disposals, project development, and commercial agreements, with recent work in the midstream. Rebecca Searle is also recommended.
