Vinson & Elkins Named Energy & Projects Law Firm of the Year at the 2023 Chambers USA Awards

“For decades, we have witnessed the ebb and flow of the energy landscape. The energy transition – a truly global and transformative process – represents an unprecedented challenge and opportunity as it not only reshapes the way we power our world, but also redefines how companies deploy capital,” said Kaam Sahely, Partner and co-head of the Corporate Department at Vinson & Elkins. “Every industry is impacted by today’s investments in energy, and we are at a key point in time where innovation, sustainability, and economic growth are converging. I am excited by the possibilities ahead for our clients, and this recognition by Chambers reflects the confidence placed in us by our clients to help them navigate this transition.”

Chambers said “Vinson & Elkins is a powerhouse across the various energy sectors. From its deep roots in the oil and gas industry to more recent strength in renewable energy, the firm is truly a market leader.”

Clients told Chambers “it is the most forward-thinking firm I’ve worked with.” Other clients were quoted saying “V&E provides outstanding insight and depth of knowledge” and “Vinson & Elkins is one of the best, if not the best, firm in the space for complex energy matters.”

Chambers also said that the firm is “one of the firms at the forefront of the energy transition movement, helping major companies with their reshuffle of project portfolios, as well as the development of new technology to support the industry with this shift to low and zero carbon sources.”

According to Chambers, the awards recognize a law firm’s preeminence in key jurisdictions in the region. They also reflect achievements over the past 12 months including outstanding work, impressive strategic growth and excellence in client service. Vinson & Elkins was selected out of a group of six finalists.
