(Aug. 31) – Houston corporate lawyers Robin Fredrickson and Jeff Muñoz of Latham & Watkins were driving to an early Fourth of July dinner with friends and clients in Austin last year when they received a call.

ArcLight Capital Partners wanted its portfolio company, Bruin E&P Partners, to buy 104,000 acres in North Dakota’s Williston Basin owned by Houston-based Halcón Resources for $1.4 billion. The Boston-based private equity firm said the deal required urgency. Fredrickson and Muñoz needed to have the necessary paperwork done in a matter of days.
