Gibson Dunn Adds Energy Private Equity Partner

Clay Brett is joining Gibson Dunn in Houston, brining his expertise in energy private equity. Brett – currently a member of the city council of West University Place – had been at Baker Botts since May 2023, following a stint in house at Millennial Energy Partners. Earlier in his career, he was with Bracewell & Giuliani and Willkie Farr & Gallagher.

“Clay is one of the leading private equity lawyers in the energy sector,” said Michael Piazza, co-chair of the Gibson Dunn practice Brett is joining. “His experience advising sponsors across the investment lifecycle, combined with his time on the investor side, gives him a unique perspective on the commercial and legal issues that drive successful transactions.”
