Bradley Arant Boult Cummings announced on Monday that Houston energy partner David R. Roth has jumped to the firm from Jones Walker.
Roth represents Fortune 100 and other clients in the development, leasing, construction and management of energy-related projects, M&A, dispositions, structured financings, private placement of debt and equity, initial public offerings, mezzanine loans and other hybrid debt-equity transactions.
“Bradley is intent on establishing a premier mid-market energy transactional practice in Houston, and I’m very excited to be a part of the work of building that practice,” Roth says. “The firm’s size, aggressiveness and culture fit very well with my clients’ business objectives.”
Before joining Jones Walker in 2015, Roth was general counsel of Northern Star Generation LLC, a private equity-owned power generation company with operations across the United States, for more than a decade.
Earlier in his career, the University of Texas School of Law graduate also served as vice president and assistant general counsel at Dynegy, where he was head of the finance and corporate transactions legal group.
Bradley, which is based in Alabama, also announced that two new associates – Andrew Bell and Philip Morgan – have joined the firm’s 23-lawyer Houston office. They will work in the construction practice group.
