RSP’s James Mutrie: Putting Himself Out of a Job

It’s not much fun to be the general counsel of a company that’s going through a sale process, which, if successful, would most likely put that person out of a job.

But RSP Permian’s former general counsel Jim Mutrie handled his company’s $9.5 billion sale to Concho Resources last year like a pro, leading him and his outside counsel Vinson & Elkins to be a finalist for the M&A Deal of the Year Award by the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of the Association for Corporate Counsel.
