Houston-based Fulbright & Jaworski opened an office in Denver this month to serve energy company clients operating in the Rocky Mountains.

“Denver in the last few years has become an energy capital, producing in its own right, and much of the oil and gas to be produced in the future in the U.S. will be produced in the Rockies,” says Houston partner Poe Leggette, head of the firm’s Western Lands and Energy Practice.
