  • Enerflex Senior Counsel Melanie Benefield ‘A One Woman Army’ - Melanie Benefield was a “landman” long before Billy Bob Thornton made being a landman cool — except it involved offshore assets. Fifteen years later, Benefield is a Houston-based senior counsel at Calgary-headquartered Enerflex Ltd., a global energy firm that specializes in natural gas processing, power generation and water solutions.

    “What makes Melanie's nomination compelling is not just the breadth of that mandate, but what she delivered within it during 2025 — a year that tested Enerflex's business and legal team in extraordinary ways,” AZA partner Jason McManis said.

    The Association of Corporate Counsel’s Houston Chapter and The Texas Lawbook are awarding the 2026 Houston Corporate Counsel Award for Senior Counsel of the Year for a Midsized Legal Department (six to 19 attorneys) to Benefield.

  • Rice University GC Omar Syed: ‘A Calm and Steady Hand’ in Tumultuous Times - Omar Syed’s path to representing educational institutions came during the summer before his senior year in college while participating in a program designed to train future schoolteachers and education leaders. He realized he would "better help those schoolchildren as a public advocate and counsel than as a classroom teacher." 

    Now the GC at Rice University, Syed is still advocating and counseling during one of the most tumultuous periods in higher education. Citing his extraordinary successes, the Association of Corporate Counsel’s Houston Chapter and The Texas Lawbook are awarding Syed the 2026 Houston Corporate Counsel Award for General Counsel of the Year for a Nonprofit.
