HOUSTON and DENVER (PRWEB) December 12, 2016 -- Five shareholders from the international law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP were named to The Business Journals’ 2016-2017 list of “Who’s Who in Energy.” Douglas C. Atnipp, William Garner, and Alfredo Ramos were selected for inclusion in Houston’s energy market, while Troy A. Eid and Paul M. Seby were included in Denver’s energy market.
“Who’s Who in Energy,” a special section published in the Nov. 25, 2016, editions of the Houston Business Journal and the Denver Business Journal, profiles key energy industry professionals based in major cities across the United States. The list includes executives of energy companies in a range of areas, from exploration and production and oilfield services to law, engineering, and finance. Selections are based on nominations, industry outreach, and research, according to the publication’s website. The special section was also published in the business journals of three other U.S. cities: Dallas, Pittsburgh, and San Antonio.
Atnipp is co-chair of Greenberg Traurig’s Global Energy and Infrastructure Practice and the firm's Texas co-regional operating shareholder. Atnipp has more than 25 years of experience representing clients engaged in all facets of the energy business. He is involved in a wide range of energy-related transactions including energy finance, joint ventures and strategic alliances, and acquisitions and dispositions of energy-related assets.
Eid, a former U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado and co-chair of the Greenberg Traurig’s American Indian Law Practice, is a shareholder in the firm's Denver office and has wide-ranging experience in complex federal, state, and tribal litigation. He has extensive experience in civil and criminal defense of energy companies in federal, state, and tribal investigations pursuant to the Clean Water Act and other environmental and safety laws.
