Thompson & Knight Assists M2 Midstream in $1.2 Billion Sale of Natural Gas Gathering and Treating Systems
The team of Thompson & Knight attorneys working on the transaction included Arthur J. Wright, Ron W. Fry, and Ashleigh Everett of the Oil and Gas Practice Group; Ann Marie Cowdrey, Wesley P. Williams, Jennifer M. Avery, and Susan Marx of the Corporate and Securities Practice Group; R. David Wheat, Shelly A. Youree, and Brandon L. Bloom of the Tax Practice Group; Elizabeth A. Schartz of the Labor and Employment Law Practice Group; and John W. Rain of the Finance Practice Group.
“There are few law firms in Texas that have the resident capabilities and legal expertise that Thompson & Knight has – all of which can be brought to bear within a compressed time frame to execute a transaction of this magnitude and complexity,” says Bill Pritchard, the Chairman of M2 Midstream. “But beyond that, Thompson & Knight is a firm that just knows how to get deals done.”
