Bill Swanstrom was quoted in the April 24, 2025 Bloomberg Law article, “Iran War Sows Mayhem for Big Law’s Energy Clients in Texas.”

  • Bill Swanstrom, an energy and corporate partner at Troutman Pepper Locke in Houston, said he’s seen a rising interest in LNG export terminals, natural gas storage and pipeline projects near the Gulf Coast.
  • The war with Iran “is a reminder that people would rather source hydrocarbons from safer areas and that is going to have a long-term positive impact on pricing,” he said.
  • …
  • Swanstrom said the global energy crisis has “added an additional tailwind to what was already happening,” as Troutman is among the firms looking for talent in Houston and Dallas. “This was happening before the war, but the last couple of months puts an exclamation point on the long-term outlook for us,” he said.
