Bo Boyd is a partner at Walker Eisenbraun, where her practice covers an array of complex corporate, transactional, and governance matters, predominantly for clients in the energy sector.  In her two decades of practice, she has excelled as a corporate and securities lawyer with a national law firm, and as general counsel, senior vice president, and corporate secretary of the largest publicly traded, independent oil and gas producer in the Gulf of Mexico, where she had sole responsibility for managing all of the company’s legal affairs.  Bo is experienced managing A&D transactions, a full range of commercial energy transactions, health, safety and environmental matters, corporate governance, securities and exchange compliance, executive compensation and employment matters, insurance and risk mitigation, investor relations, internal investigation and audit processes, litigation discovery practices and regulatory compliance at local, state and national levels.

Bo’s counsel to clients on complex legal matters is informed by her tenure with a national law firm and strongly rooted in her first-hand, practical in-house experience, which makes her a trusted advisor for clients navigating daily and operational matters to sophisticated transactional matters.  Business leaders and in-house legal teams value Bo’s pragmatic approach and seek her guidance when they need strategic insight from a highly trained advisor who has successfully handled legal affairs from their perspective.

After graduating from The University of Texas at Austin, Bo earned her J.D. from the University of Houston Law Center, magna cum laude.  Outside of the office, she enjoys spending time with her family and traveling the world.
