How is a potential client selected as a “Plexus” target as opposed to a target of an individual firm?
Each of the Plexus firms has a substantial energy practice with firm clients who are not Plexus clients. However, the Plexus firms view the resources of the collective group as merely an extension of their own firms’ energy practice group. A typical Plexus client is an integrated energy company which either has projects requiring a diverse team of transaction attorneys or has projects outside of the jurisdiction or market of one of the Plexus firms. If the client will be better served, the Plexus firms recognize that assembling a team of Plexus lawyers works to the mutual benefit of the firm itself, the client, and the other Plexus members.
