Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld announced the addition of a pair of top energy transactional lawyers, with Wesley P. Williams and Jessica Hammons joining the firm as partners in its Dallas and Fort Worth offices. Both Hammons and Williams come to Akin Gump from Thompson & Knight, where Williams served as firmwide leader of the corporate and securities practice.

“Jessica and Wes are true leaders in their field who bring impressive backgrounds that will resonate strongly with our clients, particularly those within the energy sector,” said Akin Gump chairperson Kim Koopersmith, in a statement by the firm. “They’ll strengthen our top-tier energy practice and further the strong momentum we’ve seen with our transactional team in Texas following the additions last year of partners Ryan Cox, Eric Williams and Chad Nichols. I am very happy to welcome them to Akin Gump.”
