Over the past two decades, the energy sector has been shaped by transformative legal decisions and practices that have redefined how industries, governments, and communities address energy production, distribution, and consumption. In honor of Texas Journal of Oil, Gas, & Energy Law’s 20th anniversary, this panel of TJOGEL founders and leading alumni delves into the most significant trends, developments, and case law that have defined energy over the last twenty years, analyzing their far-reaching impacts on the industry and its stakeholders. The panel will also explore how these legal developments and technological innovations have affected investment strategies, operational practices, and the broader energy transition. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the jurisprudence that underpins today’s energy landscape and insight into emerging trends and challenges that could define the next era of energy law.

Speakers include:

Becky Diffen, Partner, Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP; Austin T. Lee, Partner, Bracewell LLP; Cynthia Martinez, SVP, General Counsel, energyRe; Brandon Seale (Moderator), Former President, West Texas Gas Utility; and Chad M. Smith, Partner, Kirkland & Ellis LLP.

Presented by TJOGEL and the Kay Bailey Hutchison Energy Center as part of UT Energy Week, which is a great chance for students to connect with potential employers, explore career opportunities, and learn more about the industry.
