Latham Advises WhiteHawk Energy on Acquisition of Haynesville Assets

WhiteHawk Energy, LLC (WhiteHawk) has announced that its affiliate entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement to acquire natural gas mineral and royalty interests primarily located in the core of the Haynesville Shale in Louisiana and east Texas. The Haynesville assets cover approximately 150,000 gross unit acres and further increase WhiteHawk’s exposure to high-quality development across the Haynesville and Mid-Bossier formations. The assets are concentrated in core areas of the basin and are operated by established, well-capitalized operators. The Haynesville assets acquisition is expected to close in early April 2026.

Latham advised WhiteHawk on the transaction with a corporate deal team led by Houston partners Chris Heasley and Nick Dhesi, with associate Robert Cunningham. Advice on tax matters was also provided by Houston partner Tim Fenn.
