In addition, he has experience counseling clients in toxic torts, products liability, and maritime claims and defenses.

“Kat’s addition reflects the Firm’s strategic commitment to expand our presence and capabilities in Texas,” said John Dale, Chairman and CEO of GableGotwals. “His litigation experience and deep energy knowledge add to our existing Houston litigation team and are a seamless fit across our practice areas and client base.”

The Texas market is thriving, and the opportunities for growth are ripe. GableGotwals gives me an incredible platform to serve my clients and build my practice alongside a team that’s already deeply rooted in the industry.”

Kat is licensed to practice in Texas and New Mexico. He is named a Best Lawyer in Commercial Litigation, is on the Editorial Board for the Institute for Energy Law’s Oil & Gas E-Report, serves as an officer on the Institute for Energy Law’s Renewables Committee, and was part of the 7th Institute for Energy Law’s Leadership Class in 2024-2025.
