Commenting on the recent hire, J.P. Hanson, head of the Houlihan Lokey oil and gas group, said: “Shane exemplifies two key elements of Houlihan Lokey’s oil and gas group: an outstanding breadth of advisory expertise in nearly every type of situation or market condition and the ability to deliver superior results for upstream clients in any region around the world.”
