Jackson Walker served as legal counsel to Wincoram Asset Management, LLC in the acquisition of PureWest Energy, LLC (“PureWest”) by a private consortium of family offices and financial institutions (“PW Consortium”). On May 31, 2023, PureWest, a leading Rocky Mountain independent natural gas producer, completed an all-cash merger with a newly formed entity sponsored by PW Consortium for a total consideration of $1.84 billion.

Following the closing of the transaction, PureWest’s existing management and employees will remain in-place, a new Board of Directors will be formed composed of representatives from PW Consortium and the entity will remain branded as PureWest Energy, LLC.

Members of PW Consortium include A.G. Hill Partners LLC, Cain Capital L.L.C., Eaglebine Capital Partners, LP, Fortress Investment Group, HF Capital, LLC, Petro-Hunt LLC and Wincoram Asset Management.
