Hunton Andrews Kurth Expands Dallas Office and National Energy Practice with Addition of Energy Regulatory Partners

Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP (formerly Hunton & Williams and Andrews Kurth Kenyon) is pleased to announce the expansion of its Dallas office and its highly ranked energy practice with the arrival of Myles F. Reynolds and Tab R. Urbantke, as partners on the firm’s energy and infrastructure team.

Reynolds and Urbantke were most recently at Vinson & Elkins in Dallas, where Reynolds was a partner and Urbantke was counsel. Both are former associates at Hunton & Williams, which combined with Andrews Kurth Kenyon in April.

“Myles and Tab have extensive energy regulatory experience and are a great addition to our newly expanded national energy practice,” Managing Partner Wally Martinez said. “They will play a key role in our continued growth in Texas and nationally, and we welcome them back to the firm.”

Reynolds advises electric and natural gas utilities, midstream companies and other energy providers regulated by state and federal government agencies. He regularly represents clients in litigated proceedings, including rate cases, certificate proceedings and complaints. He also assists clients on greenfield project development, legislative initiatives, regulatory compliance, commercial transactions, significant mergers and acquisitions and financings, and post-closing business transitions.

Urbantke represents a variety of energy sector clients, including electric and gas utilities, mining companies, power marketers, and generators. His experience includes both rulemaking proceedings and administrative litigation involving a variety of rate case, licensing, complaint, and merger proceedings before numerous state and federal agencies. He also leads negotiations for clients on a variety of commercial energy transactions and advises companies on legislative strategy, drafting, and advocacy efforts.

Reynolds earned his undergraduate degree from Washington and Lee University and his law degree from Tulane University Law School. Urbantke earned his undergraduate, master’s, and law degrees from Baylor University and Baylor Law School.
