Launched in 2005, Lawdragon is a legal media company that features news, editorial features, and a variety of guides to the nationâs top legal professionals who lead in a particular practice area or industry and who have handled significant matters within the past year.
According to the publication, the Energy 500 list âreflects the historic strength of a handful of firms in this area, as well as the incursions the global powerhouses have made establishing Energy as a mainstay of their practices.â Lawdragon specifically focuses on the impact of Texas energy law firms, noting: âAs the worldâs most exclusive and profitable law firms have struck gold in Houston, Dallas and Austin, folks are singing a bit of a different tune. And rightly so. The Texas lawyers featured here advise oil and gas companies (and others) as their meat and potatoes.â
Selection to this list of the top energy attorneys in the U.S. is limited to those who have been in practice for at least 10 years and is based on the publicationâs individual research, submissions from firms and companies, and vetting with experienced lawyers in their respective areas.
