Bracewell added an experienced partner to its energy regulatory group, the firm announced Monday.
Michelle Boudreaux, who joined Bracewell’s Houston office, was previously a partner in the energy projects and transactions group at Baker Botts, according to a news release. Her primary area of expertise is pipeline regulatory matters, as well as litigation that comes before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Railroad Commission of Texas.
Boudreaux’s transactional practice involves “drafting and negotiating transportation service agreements, storage agreements, pipeline lease agreements and other midstream agreements,” according to the release.
“We are excited to welcome Michelle to the firm,” Managing Partner Greg Bopp said in the release. “She’s one of the nation’s most highly regarded energy regulatory lawyers and is a terrific addition to our market-leading energy regulatory practice.”
Boudreaux said she chose Bracewell due to “the firm’s industry-leading pipeline regulatory practice.”
She graduated from Tulane University Law School in 2002. Boudreaux received her undergrad from Indiana University in 1991 and her master’s degree from Tulane University in 1996.
“This is a great opportunity to collaborate with a talented group of lawyers and will provide a great platform to build my practice,” she said in the release.
