In a strategic expansion of its Houston operations, Norton Rose Fulbright has reinforced its litigation practice by acquiring a prominent team specializing in energy litigation. Leading this group is Graig Alvarez, who has joined the firm as a partner. In addition to Alvarez, the team includes Lance Bremer and Kara Stauffer as senior counsel, with Dwain Capodice stepping in as counsel. This acquisition underscores Norton Rose Fulbright’s focus on strengthening its services across the energy sector, which is a crucial component of the firm’s global operations.
Norton Rose Fulbright’s decision to integrate this team reflects the increasing demand for specialized legal expertise in complex sectors like oil and gas. The team’s proficiency spans handling intricate legal issues such as insurance claims, royalty litigation, and working interest owner disputes. This knowledge will be especially beneficial for their clientele, which consists of international energy corporations, extensive health-care systems, hospital networks, and pipeline operators, along with individuals and closely held companies.
The transition of Alvarez and his colleagues from their former firm, Alvarez Stauffer Bremer, to Norton Rose Fulbright illuminates the latter’s commitment to fortifying its capabilities in energy litigation. The firm’s strategic location in Houston, a major hub for the energy industry, positions it advantageously to capture emerging opportunities in the sector and deliver enhanced legal solutions to its clients.
