WASHINGTON, DC – Hart Energy’s Oil & Gas Investor Magazine has selected Bracewell LLP partner Catherine D. Little as one of its 2025 Influential Women in Energy.

Little is recognized this year as one of the industry’s most influential leaders, given her impressive track record of helping clients excel even when they are facing increased federal oversight and public scrutiny alongside ever-expanding regulatory requirements and energy transition initiatives. She regularly counsels her oil and gas pipeline, associated terminal and storage and LNG clients concerning their complex compliance and enforcement matters and litigation strategies. Relatedly, Little frequently manages large-scale confidential investigations and audits to assist companies in identifying legal risks and preparing defenses. She has also favorably resolved criminal investigation matters, including those initiated by whistleblowers led by the US Department of Transportation’s Office of Inspector General and the US Department of Justice.

Oil & Gas Investor first launched its annual Influential Women in Energy program in 2018. The platform recognizes professional women who have excelled in every sector of the oil and gas industry, including exploration and production, acquisitions and divestitures, oilfield services, midstream, finance, ESG and the energy transition.

Winners will be recognized at an awards ceremony in Houston on February 27.
