The office is expected to grow in the coming months as the firm further strengthens its capabilities in the US and global energy markets to meet client demand.

Global managing partner Charles Adams said: “This move reflects an extended period of planning to ensure we identified a strong cohort of talented partners. Expanding our global energy offering in Houston, the world’s leading energy hub, reflects our strategy to build out our capability in geographies and sectors critical to our clients’ future growth.

“Energy transition is a priority for our clients and our depth of knowledge across technologies and jurisdictions in this sector positions Clifford Chance to add real value to businesses pursuing a sustainable path.”
