Exceptional M&A counsel for a complex energy sector transaction

Our company recently navigated a high-stakes acquisition of a midstream energy asset, and Andrew Calder was instrumental to our success. Leveraging his deep M&A expertise and specific recognition in energy law, he provided strategic clarity through every complex negotiation and due diligence hurdle. His 23 years of experience, particularly within the Texas market, were evident in his practical advice and foresight. Andrew’s professionalism and calm guidance, backed by the formidable resources of Kirkland & Ellis, gave our board complete confidence. The transaction closed seamlessly, exceeding our strategic and financial objectives. We could not have asked for better representation.
