Jackson Walker Boosts Energy Transactions Group With Addition of Pat Knapp in Dallas

DALLAS – Jackson Walker is pleased to announce the addition of Patrick Knapp as a partner in the Dallas office. Joining the Energy practice, Knapp brings a wealth of experience handling corporate transactions and energy litigation as in-house and outside counsel to domestic and international upstream, midstream, and downstream energy companies.

In addition to building a strong private practice focused on corporate transactions and litigation in the energy industry, Knapp served as managing counsel of Bridger Logistics, the former midstream division of Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. In his role, he led and managed a series of high-profile M&A transactions and litigation—including the sale of its saltwater disposal, crude oil truck transportation, and midstream logistics businesses, which Jackson Walker handled on Bridger’s behalf in 2018.

In his practice at Jackson Walker, Knapp will focus on mergers and acquisitions, financings, complex commercial transactions, and litigation strategies for midstream, downstream, and commodity financial services companies. He has represented producers, marketers, logistics providers, and refiners in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. His experience extends to virtually all forms of petroleum commodity marketing and transportation, including pipelines, gathering systems, terminals, rail, Jones Act and VLCC charters, truck transportation, and a variety of capital-intense, multimodal blending and processing facilities.

Knapp received his J.D. from Southern Methodist University and his B.B.A. in economics and marketing from the University of Notre Dame.
