Austin

Holland & Knight's Austin office overlooks Lady Bird Lake and is a short distance from the State Capitol, numerous Texas state agencies and the University of Texas at Austin campus. The Hike and Bike Trail, an oasis in the center of the city for outdoor activities, is just steps away. Few Texas cities rival Austin in ingenuity, creativity and sophistication, and our Austin office is a reflection of that environment.

In addition to providing legal services in trial, appellate, oil and gas, energy, healthcare, corporate transactions and international litigation, our Austin attorneys have recognized experience in government and regulatory matters – including local, state and federal. We have been effective advocates for our clients in legislative efforts, strategic initiatives, agency hearings, and regulatory and compliance matters before the Public Utility Commission of Texas, the Railroad Commission of Texas, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the Texas Legislature, with a particular focus on environmental and electric power issues. Our attorneys also represent rural electric cooperatives in transmission line siting and certification as well as in a wide range of corporate and transactional matters, including real estate, commercial contract negotiations, electrical service contracts, and construction and development agreements for electric energy facilities.
