Celebrating 25 years in Texas, Eversheds Sutherland’s work in the state is notable for its diversity. Whether it is guidance regarding shale oil and gas production, renewable energy projects, climate change litigation, electric utility rate regulation, transmission project development, patent portfolio management, or cybersecurity and data protection, lawyers across Eversheds Sutherland’s Austin and Houston provide efficient and effective legal solutions not just in Texas, but in every major hub around the globe.
The big news for clients in 2017, specifically those in Texas, was US-based Sutherland Asbill & Brennan’s combination with London-based Eversheds to create a top 40 global legal practice with more than 2,400 lawyers in 66 offices in 32 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. Before the combination, Eversheds had offices around the globe, but not a single office in Texas. With Eversheds having a presence in the world’s major energy markets including London, Dubai, Singapore and Hong Kong, Sutherland’s offices in Texas were important because international energy companies view the state as a launching pad into new and emerging markets.
With the legal industry focusing on global representation, Eversheds Sutherland is positioned for significant growth in Texas because it presents expanded services to international clients with existing or planned operations in the state. In the past year, Eversheds Sutherland’s expanded Texas presence has benefited clients in meaningful new ways, including helping commodity trading firms expand their operations in China, counseling a multinational oil major with its reentry into the renewables market, representing oilfield service firms in global joint ventures and combinations, and successfully resolving high-stakes disputes involving substantial cross-border elements for Texas-based financial services companies.
Along with the full range of legal services, Eversheds Sutherland remains committed to helping its Texas clients achieve their business goals and objectives wherever they arise.
