Ali Henderson, Assistant General Counsel at Energy Transfer, was recognized alongside Yetter Coleman LLP as a co-recipient of the 2026 award for “Business Litigation of the Year,” presented by the Association of Corporate Counsel’s Houston Chapter and The Texas Lawbook. The award honored their collaborative work on a major litigation victory on behalf of Energy Transfer.
Yetter Coleman partners Paul Yetter, Bryce Callahan, Grant Martinez and Robert Woods worked with Energy Transfer’s legal team on the Ageron matter, which arose after a neighboring operator sued following a failed drilling effort near Energy Transfer’s permitted disposal operations.
Working alongside Henderson, the team advanced an early resolution strategy focused on jurisdictional dismissal. The approach included a successful standing challenge and the use of the Texas Citizens Participation Act to position the case for interlocutory appeal. The Court of Appeals ultimately reversed the trial court and rendered judgment dismissing the case for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, eliminating the almost $200 million in claimed exposure.
