Catherine Hood

A consummate professional who guided our complex energy transaction

Our company recently faced a high-stakes, multi-jurisdictional acquisition of several renewable energy assets. The regulatory and contractual complexities were daunting. We were referred to Catherine Hood at Bracewell, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first meeting, her command of the intricate details of energy law was immediately apparent. She possesses that rare combination of deep technical knowledge, honed over years of practice, and sharp strategic thinking. Catherine meticulously navigated us through a maze of FERC compliance issues, power purchase agreement assignments, and complex title considerations. Her guidance was not just legally sound but commercially astute, always keeping our business objectives at the forefront. Her recognition in the field, including by Best Lawyers, is clearly well-deserved. What truly set her apart, however, was her responsiveness and ability to explain dense legal concepts in clear, actionable terms. She and her team were always prepared, proactive, and several steps ahead of potential pitfalls. The transaction closed smoothly and on schedule, a direct result of her exceptional stewardship. For any significant matter in the energy sector, Catherine Hood is an invaluable asset.
