Greenberg Traurig Strengthens Colorado Energy Practice with Scott Looper
"Greenberg Traurig adds Scott Looper as a shareholder in its Energy & Natural Resources Practice in Denver; he will work on midstream, LNG and integrated energy transactions."
Looper advises energy companies on acquisitions and divestitures, complex commercial agreements, project development, and regulatory compliance across the midstream value chain. He represents publicly traded partnerships, conflicts committees, producers, terminal operators, and pipeline companies in high-value transactions. His practice encompasses acquisitions, divestitures, dropdowns, and private offerings, as well as the structuring and negotiation of commercial agreements including gathering, transportation, processing, storage, terminaling, and commodity sales contracts. He also counsels clients on joint ventures, construction and procurement matters, and regulatory compliance before agencies such as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Texas Railroad Commission, and the Regulatory Commission of Alaska.
In addition to midstream transactional work, Looper has significant experience in LNG and large-scale project development, including negotiating liquefaction tolling agreements and EPCM and EPFC contracts for major export terminals and petrochemical facilities. His commercial approach is informed by an earlier career as an energy analyst at a global consulting firm, which enables him to provide business-focused advice to boards, executive teams, and conflicts committees.
Looper joins Greenberg Traurig as a shareholder in the Energy & Natural Resources Practice. He has been recognized as a Next Generation Partner by The Legal 500 United States from 2020 through 2024, is an active participant in the Institute for Energy Law, and is a frequent speaker on midstream energy and regulatory developments. He earned his J.D., cum laude, from the University of Houston Law Center; an M.Sc. in Business Management, with honors, from the University of East Anglia; and a B.A., magna cum laude, from Trinity University. He is admitted in Texas; his practice in Colorado is temporarily authorized pending admission under C.R.C.P. 205.6.
