Early May has been a busy time for Texas lawyers working on energy deals. Lawyers in Latham & Watkins’ Houston office got a taste of that frenzy by working on three deals announced on three consecutive days—two of them for the same client.
The firm represents a subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold in both a divestiture and an acquisition of energy assets. It also represents a subsidiary of Swift Energy Co. in an Eagle Ford Shale development deal with the U.S. subsidiary of a state-owned oil and gas company in Indonesia.
