Latham Makes the Chris Heasley Move Official

Making official what was first reported by Bloomberg Law late last month, Latham & Watkins this week announced its hiring of veteran energy M&A/PE lawyer Christopher Heasley from Kirkland & Ellis.

“We are thrilled to welcome Chris to Latham and to continue to expand our preeminent energy M&A and private equity practice in Texas and globally,” said Nick Dhesi, Latham’s Houston office managing partner. “He is widely regarded as one of the top energy lawyers in Texas, and his impressive track record and experience, breadth of practice and industry relationships will do what we value most — serve our clients well.”
