With a growing position in the Texas energy market, Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP‘s transactional electric power practice has seen the arrival of a handful of expert energy lawyers in the past year, including Blake Winburne in July 2025. The practice focuses on tax equity and credit sales, commodities agreements and structuring, M&A, equity financings, joint ventures, and project financing. From Houston, Winburne, a veteran transactional lawyer with electric power generation and transmission assets, leads the team alongside Houston-based Archie Fallon and Dallas-based Eric Pogue. Fallon is a key contact for private equity funds in transactions in the energy and infrastructure sectors, and Pogue has extensive experience in renewable energy transactions.
