[tps_title]Greg Butrus, Partner, Balch & Bingham LLP[/tps_title]

Butrus heads up the Energy section of one of Birmingham’s most prestigious law firms, but prefers to fly so far below the radar that he doesn’t even put up a picture alongside his bio on the firm’s website. And although his genuine humility would keep most people from realizing it, he is Alabama’s foremost authority on state and federal energy policy matters.

Prior to joining Balch & Bingham, Butrus served on the staff of U.S. Senator Howell Heflin in Washington. He’s also a past member of the University of Notre Dame’s Board of Trustees.

Some casual political watchers may be surprised to see his name on the Power & Influence 50, but those who need to know, know.
