Described as “incredibly intelligent” and “impressive” by interviewees in Chambers USA (2019), Lande Spottswood is an accomplished corporate lawyer who focuses her practice on large and complex strategic transactions, often in the energy and industrial sectors. Her clients include public and private companies, as well as private equity firms.

Lande advises on mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, restructurings, spinoffs, and joint ventures, as well as preferred investments and other capital-raising transactions. She also provides counsel on general corporate issues and she advises boards of directors and special committees with respect to conflicted transactions.

Since the beginning of 2010, Lande has advised participants in more than 30 public company mergers or change-of-control transactions. She also counseled clients involved with many of the largest MLP transactions of the last decade.

Lande is regularly recognized as a leading M&A practitioner by legal trade publications, including Chambers USA for her Corporate and M&A practice, and by Legal 500, Texas Lawyer and Super Lawyers. An interviewee cited in her Chambers 2018 profile noted that Lande “demonstrates depth of knowledge in her field” and “most importantly, has gotten good results no matter what the task.”

In addition to her client work, Lande serves as a Deputy Practice Group Leader of the firm’s Mergers & Acquisitions and Capital Markets group and is a member of the firm’s Management Committee and Diversity Executive Committee.
