What does your group see as its most significant achievements for 2023, and why?

From a case and matter perspective, the wins for Hilcorp, The Board of Regents of the University of Texas System, Chevron and Apache stand out for several reasons. All four of these cases are precedent-setting cases, three of which were resolved at the Texas Supreme Court. What do these matters say about Bracewell litigation? First, that we are seen as a go-to group for big and significant cases by industry leaders. Each of those four entities has its choice for counsel—they are marquee clients—and their cases are sought out by any significant litigation group or firm. The fact that Bracewell was engaged to handle these matters tells much of our story. Second, we have a record of success. Winning these well-publicized cases highlights the depth and breadth of our team to the market and leads to additional significant matters.
