About Dalton Downing
Former BigLaw attorney turned in-house counsel focused on practical, business-driven legal support. I began my career at Latham & Watkins, advising public and private companies on complex, high-value transactions and developing a strong foundation in technical rigor and commercial judgment. As Assistant General Counsel at Francis Energy, I partner closely with cross-functional teams on commercial, regulatory, and financing matters, supporting strategic initiatives and organizational growth. I enjoy operating at the intersection of legal and business and serving as a pragmatic, solutions-oriented advisor.
