Clifford Chance, a global law firm, has expanded its team in Houston with the recruitment of energy partner David Stringer from Jones Day, furthering their concerted efforts to bolster their energy and infrastructure team in the area.

The Houston team initially kicked off operations with Latham & Watkins partners Jonathan Castelan and Trevor Lavelle, along with Clifford Chance partners Davika Kornbacher and Alex Leff, who moved to Houston from the New York office.

As Clifford Chance continues to build their team and further their reach in Houston’s legal market, this development underlines the ongoing interest of UK-based firms in the Texas region.
