in association with
Approved by The State Bar of Texas for 3:00 CLE hours
OVERVIEW
An Energy Roundtable + Legal Innovation Forum program focused on challenges and opportunities facing the North American energy sector in today’s volatile, risk-on ecosystem
The global energy industry is facing unprecedented risk in an era of geopolitical instability, regulatory uncertainty, supply chain challenges and tariffs impacting cross-border trade. Forward-thinking energy companies – both north and south of the border – are bolstering risk mitigation strategies as they strive for business resilience.
Houston is recognized as the energy capital of the world – not only in the established oil and gas sectors, but also for renewable sources such as wind and solar power – making it the ideal location for this half-day live event.
Through a series of panel discussions, fireside chats, and presentations, we will bring together leading energy companies, law firms and service providers to examine the key drivers and trends in this dynamic sector and shed light on successful strategies for mitigating risk and driving business growth in these uncertain times.
Structure + Audience
- Half-day event held in Houston on December 3, 2025
- Hosted @ Clifford Chance’s Houston Office
- 125 attendees: C-Suite + risk leaders from US and Canadian energy companies, and leaders from financial services firms (banks, institutional investors), law firms, engineering firms and other industry specialists
