About Zach Bernard
I am a third-generation member of an oil-and-gas family who spent my pre-law school years in Texas fields scrutinizing instruments as a petroleum landman for exploration and production companies. Accordingly, I have developed strong ties to the energy industry. Today, my background merges with proven legal insight to facilitate a range of representations, including counseling energy-focused companies on their participation in upstream and midstream operations as well as assisting energy and production companies, and oilfield product suppliers and manufacturers, in their participation in complex commercial transactions, including those involving various domestic and international service providers, vendors, suppliers, contractors and distributors. My experience is not just limited to the energy industry though as I provide similar outside general counsel services to closely-held private business clients, emerging companies as well as well-known publicly-held companies ranging across a wide spectrum of industries. In more recent years, I have enjoyed success in working with numerous search funds and independent sponsors in leveraged acquisitions, divestitures, recapitalizations and exit transactions. In addition to the above, I have participated in numerous commercial real estate transactions and construction-based projects throughout the U.S, assisting clients in the acquisition, disposition, leasing, and development of commercial real estate, spanning a variety of industries and asset classes, including office, retail, industrial and mixed-use properties.
