Eugene Elrod Email & Phone Number

I am a partner at Bracewell LLP in the Washington, DC office where I advise domestic and international energy companies on complex U.S. federal and state regulatory matters and related commercial issues. In my practice, I represent owners of energy assets across the oil, natural gas and power sectors, with a focus on oil and gas pipeline matters. My clients have included a diverse mix of oil and gas producers, pipelines, storage and local distribution companies, electric utilities and other participants in wholesale power markets, and large industrial consumers of electric power and natural gas.I gained initial experience in federal energy regulation while serving as a trial attorney at the Federal Power Commission on gas pipeline and electric utility matters. My work in private practice encompasses both regulatory proceedings and transactions involving regulated assets. I have represented clients at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), before state energy regulatory agencies, and before Canada's National Energy Board (now Canada Energy Regulator). I have also briefed and argued cases in both federal and state appellate courts. I regularly advise on regulatory issues arising in large-scale mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructurings, and capital markets offerings. My clients have included publicly-traded corporations, private equity firms, and other energy asset owners and investors.I have an active pro bono practice representing Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force veterans seeking medical, retirement, discharge upgrade and other benefits. These representations are part of the National Veterans Legal Services Program's "Lawyers Serving Warriors" project.I served on Law360's Energy Editorial Advisory Board from its inception in 2011 through 2022, and am a Life Fellow of the American Bar Foundation.Portions of this profile may constitute attorney advertising.
