Brownstein Expands Energy & Natural Resources and Real Estate Departments with Two New Shareholders

Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck is pleased to announce that Jason Moore has joined the firm’s Energy & Natural Resources Department as a shareholder in its Denver office. The firm’s Real Estate Department has also expanded with the addition of Janae Magee as a shareholder and Justin Bubenik as an associate in Denver.

An experienced energy attorney, Moore leverages his significant cross-disciplinary transactional, regulatory, litigation and government affairs expertise. Most recently, he served as senior legal counsel at SRC Energy, Inc. With a focus on the oil and gas sector, he drafts, reviews and negotiates a wide variety of commercial contracts. Moore also manages litigation and claims resolution and provides regulatory and government relations counseling regarding emerging oil and gas regulations, including permitting, siting and environmental regulations. Moore earned his law degree from the South Texas College of Law and his bachelor’s degree from Southwestern University.

“Jason’s wide range of energy expertise as well as strong connections within the oil and gas industry make him a great addition to our department as we continue to expand our natural resources work for clients,” said Ryan Smith, chair of the firm’s Energy & Natural Resources Department.

Magee joins the firm’s Real Estate Department from Hogan Lovells. She represents borrowers, financial institutions and institutional investors in negotiating and documenting commercial real estate financing facilities, including construction and permanent financing, real estate portfolio transactions, acquisition financing and mortgage loans. Her prior experience with senior and mezzanine credit facilities, as well as asset-based lending, provides insight for broader financing transactions where real estate is part of a larger collateral package. She earned her law degree from Vanderbilt Law School and her bachelor’s degree from Point Loma Nazarene University.

Bubenik joins Brownstein’s Real Estate Department Jan. 27 from Kirkland & Ellis’ Los Angeles office. His practice focuses on acquisitions, dispositions, financings and joint ventures for institutional investors, owners and developers. He earned his law degree from the University of Southern California Gould School of Law and his bachelor’s degree from North Carolina State University. 

“We are thrilled to welcome Janae and Justin to our premier real estate practice here at Brownstein,” said Nicole Ament, chair of Brownstein’s Real Estate Department. “Their experience working with high-profile clients is a great fit for our team as we continue to expand our real estate work across the country.”
