Breen Haire, Co-Managing Partner of Simpson Thacher’s Houston office and Co-Head of the Firm’s Energy and Infrastructure Practice, was quoted in a Texas Lawyer article titled, “Energy Lawyers Working in Texas Expect Strong Demand to Continue in 2025 Across Energy Sector” which addressed key trends in the energy sector for 2025. Breen noted that “There's just a massive need to invest in digital infrastructure and that means a further investment in power,” and explained that increased confidence in the business environment, now that the uncertainty of the election is past, will likely lead to increased M&A activity. He further described how, while there may be changes in the country’s energy policy, “what I don’t think will change is the broader, longer-term problem that needs to get solved, that's meeting the country’s demand for digital infrastructure and energy. I don’t think that is something that is determined by election cycles.”
