Baker Botts

Baker Botts led the conversation at this year’s AIEN IES conference alongside industry leaders across the energy value chain.

Partner David Jetter moderated a panel on Contracting for LNG Value Chain Constraints, hosting a timely discussion on managing risk and structuring agreements in a constrained market, while Partner and Oil & Gas Co-Chair Cody Carper spoke on New Forms of Strategic Upstream Oil and Gas Ventures in the New Climate, Technology and Energy Environment, highlighting evolving deal structures and capital strategies.

Congratulations to firm client JERA on its Haynesville Shale acquisition, which was nominated for Deal of the Year, led by Partner Rebecca Seidl.

Great to see such strong engagement across LNG, upstream, and transaction activity shaping the next phase of the energy market.

Tom Phillips is one of few people to both sit at the top of a state court system and win cases in front of it.

During a recent Houston Bar Association Energy Section event, sponsored by Baker Botts, Phillips reflected on his career, with firm partner Bill Kroger moderating the conversation.

Phillips served as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Texas from 1988 to 2004, winning four statewide elections after his initial appointment. He began as a Baker Botts trial lawyer, served as a Harris County district judge, and since 2005 has argued appeals in state and federal courts, including matters before the court he once led. Phillips is consistently recognized by Chambers USA and Best Lawyers in America.
