  • KBR’s Kriste Sullivan Instrumental in ‘Mighty Big’ Win  - When a federal jury in Houston hit KBR with a $71 million verdict in a trade secrets case involving processes used to manufacture polycarbonate, the engineering and construction firm’s senior counsel Kriste Sullivan didn’t flinch. 

    She knew the plaintiffs had taken a big gamble. And she knew she had an ace in the hole. But it wasn’t just the luck of the draw that resulted in KBR eventually completely pouring out Trinseo’s $360 million trade secrets case.

    Citing that win, the Association of Corporate Counsel’s Houston Chapter and The Texas Lawbook have honored Sullivan, KBR and the lawyers at Susman Godfrey and Bracewell the 2026 Houston Corporate Counsel Award for Business Litigation of the Year.

  • Phillips 66’s Vanessa Sutherland & Michael Voutsinas — The New World of Legal Operations - Energy company legal departments have a lot on their agendas in 2026, including ever-changing tariffs, turmoil in the Middle East, constant reversals in federal regulatory schemes, threats of cybersecurity and intellectual property theft and constantly rising hourly rates from outside counsel. As companies struggle to manage or keep up, Phillips 66 GC Vanessa Sutherland and Legal Ops Director Michael Voutsinas have taken a different approach: It has dramatically upgraded its entire legal operations team that deals with effective financial management of legal work, employee performance management, technology adoption and usage, outside vendor management, information governance, e-discovery and data analytics to optimize legal services delivery. The reforms have resulted in several internal and external successes.

    "It has become more critical for staff functions to be both a good corporate steward of capital and a partner that generates value,” Sutherland said. ACC Houston and The Texas Lawbook have named Phillips 66 as the recipients of the 2026 Houston Corporate Counsel Award for Legal Innovation.
