Lande Spottswood Profiled by Bloomberg Law
Partner Lande Spottswood was featured in a Bloomberg Law article that examined her and Vinson & Elkins’ success in energy M&A deals.
Vinson & Elkins emerged ahead of competitors guiding $30.3 billion worth of energy deals in Texas during the first three quarters of 2025. Spottswood, who began her career as an M&A lawyer at Vinson & Elkins 17 years ago, was elected as the youngest member of the firm’s management committee nearly four years ago.
She has guided several notable deals in the energy, infrastructure, industrial and energy transition spaces, including several plans announced this year: Sunoco’s $9.1 billion purchase of Parkland in May; and Vital’s $3.1 billion sale to Crescent Energy, and Western Midstream Partners’ $2 billion purchase of Aris Water Solution, both in August.
