Sean Berwald
Staff Attorney

I am passionate about the energy industry, from its longstanding traditions to the innovations shaping its future. As a law professor, I continually seek out new ideas and perspectives and welcome thoughtful discussion on a wide range of topics.

Sean Berwald advises clients on a range of energy matters, providing practical guidance tailored to their immediate objectives, long-term goals and unique challenges. He takes the time to understand what matters most to each client and develops clear, effective solutions that create meaningful value. In addition to his legal practice, Sean serves as an adjunct professor at South Texas College of Law Houston, where he teaches title examination and oil and gas drafting and negotiations. Whether advising clients, teaching law students or mentoring young attorneys, Sean’s approach remains the same: listen carefully, understand the issues and identify a clear path forward.
