  • Lewis Energy’s Wes Sharples Runs a Lean Legal Team and a Growing HR Department - Wes Sharples had a clear vision when he left Texas for college at Dartmouth in 1999: Play football, earn a degree in economics and get a big job on Wall Street.

    “My playing career ended after a year and a half along with my interest in economics,” Sharples told The Texas Lawbook. "I ultimately determined law school was the best fit, but it was more pragmatism than lifelong ambition.”

    Twenty-seven years later, Sharples is the GC at Lewis Energy Group, where he has guided the San Antonio-based privately owned energy company through five transformational corporate transactions and negotiated a highly favorable settlement agreement in an eight-figure litigation during the past two years. And he is also the 2026 San Antonio GC of the Year for a Small Legal Department.
