Halliburton GC Robb Voyles: Four years of Extraordinary Challenges, Successes

HOUSTON – Robb Voyles has been the general counsel of Halliburton for less than four years, but he has faced a plethora of monumental legal issues that most corporate lawyers don’t see in a lifetime.

Since becoming the chief lawyer at the Houston oilfield services giant in 2014, Voyles has guided Halliburton through treacherous legal waters that included a mountain of lawsuits with billions of dollars at stake related to the Macondo well and Deepwater Horizon deadly explosion, a global securities class action lawsuit, a nine-figure tax dispute with its former KBR subsidiary and a $28 billion merger with Baker Hughes that went bad.
