Dynamic Energy Deal Duo: Catching up with Skadden’s Emery Choi and Mingda Zhao

Earlier this summer, Skadden welcomed two veteran oil and gas partners to its Houston M&A group: Emery Choi and Mingda Zhao, who lateraled over after spending time together at White & Case, following stints at Vinson & Elkins. Their collective experience includes reuniting with prominent dealmaker Steve Gill, who also made the transition to Skadden at the beginning of this year after more than two decades at V&E.

Choi and Zhao draw on years of experience guiding energy sector clients through complex deals and regulatory challenges, including M&A, joint ventures and cross-border investments, with a focus on energy and infrastructure transactions.
