14-Lawyer Vinson & Elkins Public Finance Group to Join Bracewell & Giuliani as Partners
A 14-lawyer public finance practice group from Vinson & Elkins will be joining Bracewell & Giuliani in January as partners, their new firm announced today.
The group, which also does tax and muncipal securities work, may be joined at Bracewell by additional Vinson & Elkins lawyers in counsel and associate positions. They will be working in Bracewell’s offices in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin, Texas; and Washington, D.C.
The group is headed by Ben A. Brooks III, W. Glenn Opel and Barron F. Wallace.
“We view this as a tremendous opportunity to align the strengths Bracewell already has in its government relations practice with our group of public finance lawyers,” said Brooks, in the release. “This combination will enable us to provide a broad range of legal services and experience to our governmental clients and the investment banking community.”
