An exceptional attorney for complex energy and regulatory matters

Our company faced a significant regulatory challenge related to a cross-state pipeline project, involving overlapping jurisdictions and complex environmental compliance issues. We engaged D. Kirk Morgan of Bracewell LLP based on his deep specialization in energy and oil & gas law. From our first consultation, Mr. Morgan’s 24 years of experience were evident. He didn't just recite the law; he provided a strategic roadmap that accounted for the political and commercial realities of operating in Washington, D.C. His guidance through the FERC filing process and subsequent negotiations with state agencies was masterful. The recent recognition as 'Lawyer of the Year' is well-deserved, as his expertise directly translated into a favorable settlement that allowed our project to proceed without costly delays. He is responsive, cuts through complexity with clear advice, and his professionalism instilled confidence at every stage. For any entity navigating the intricate landscape of energy law, I cannot recommend Kirk Morgan more highly.
