Texas is known for powering the world by supplying reliable, cheap energy. But with a new administration in office that is hostile to traditional forms of energy, the stakes for oil & gas clients have never been higher. Being experienced and having enough skill to negotiate the thicket of regulations and new legislation that will certainly arise over the next four years was key when Winston & Strawn LLP recently announced the formation of its Energy & Infrastructure Industry Group.

Mike Blankenship, a partner at Winston & Strawn’s Houston office, and others with deep experience in conventional and renewable electric power; infrastructure; and the upstream, midstream, downstream, and oilfield services segments of the oil and gas sector will lead the cross-disciplinary team to help clients stay on target.
