(July 11) – A team of Jones Day and Bracewell lawyers, predominately in Houston, said Monday that they led The Southern Company’s $4.15 billion buy-in of a natural gas pipeline venture with Kinder Morgan.

The Atlanta-based electric utility holding company has agreed to acquire a 50 percent interest in the Southern Natural Gas (SNG) pipeline system, which is 7,600 miles long and connects natural gas supply basins in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Gulf of Mexico to markets in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee.
