Having built a remarkable career focused on complex, capital-intensive transactions within the energy and infrastructure sectors, Heasley is set to enhance the firm's already established reputation in Texas and beyond.
Heasley’s expertise lies in guiding clients through the intricacies of developing, acquiring, and divesting assets in various energy sectors including upstream, midstream, downstream, and renewables. The addition of Heasley is particularly aligned with Latham & Watkins’ objective to fortify its market-leading position in these sectors.
