Law firm expands energy team in Houston with addition of 2 transaction attorneys
Two lawyers have joined Winston & Strawn's energy practice in Houston.
Kevin Brophy and Ming Lei were named as partners and members of the firm's transactions department.
“Kevin and Ming’s extensive experience executing all manner of sophisticated transactions for energy and infrastructure clients combined with their strong networks in the energy sector enhance Winston’s position in Texas as one of the strongest firms for handling these transactions,” Mike Blankenship, Houston office managing partner, says in a news release. “Their complementary skills will help expand our work with private equity firms and other companies operating in the energy sector.”
Brophy's focus includes upstream and midstream sectors, and Lei advises clients on energy transition, as well as oil and gas exploration, storage, refinery, and more. Both have expertise in mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, asset acquisitions and dispositions, and more.
“Winston’s transactions team has a first-class reputation. We are excited to join the firm’s growing Houston office and look forward to collaborating with our new colleagues to advance Winston’s oil and gas practice in Texas and beyond,” Brophy and Lei say in a joint statement.
