Tip of the Hat to Exxon Mobil’s Bill Buck

Exxon Mobil Upstream GC William Buck is retiring from the world’s largest oil and gas operation after 36 years. He is being replaced by Chip Casey, who is Exxon Mobil’s chief attorney over its production division. Buck’s commitment to the legal profession and public service is unparalleled. EOG Resources GC Michael P. Donaldson says Buck “was on the front lines of providing access to justice for our veterans and other in need of legal assistance.”

“For some lawyers, pro bono is something they have to support as part of their jobs. For Bill, the commitment to pro bono is genuine and deep,” says LyondellBasell CLO Jeffrey Kaplan. The Texas Lawbook honors Bill Buck for a tremendous legal career.

  • After Finding a ‘Port in a Storm’ in Lawyers, Lyondell Basell’s Dave Louie Now Serves as One for Others Through Pro Bono Work - When Dave Louie was 17, he caused a car wreck. His father feared the family could lose everything in a resulting lawsuit, a possibility that weighed heavily on Louie. But his nerves eased after he met with the legal team hired by the family’s insurance company.

    “They were like a port in a storm,” Louie said. 

    Now a lead counsel at LyondellBasell, Louie strives to provide that same sense of reassurance to the families he serves through his pro bono work. The Association of Corporate Counsel’s Houston Chapter and The Texas Lawbook are honoring Louie, along with Shell USA Senior Litigation Counsel Sara Keith, with the Harry Reasoner Pro Bono Advocacy Award at the 2026 Houston Corporate Counsel Awards on May 28.
