The firm has represented oil and gas companies and individual mineral owners since 1993. Our practice includes transactions for lessors and lessees, disputes concerning mineral interests and lease obligations, and trial and appellate litigation.
Transactions and mineral interests
We advise on agreements affecting oil, gas, and mineral interests, review leases and ownership documents, and prepare transaction documents. Our experience representing both property owners and companies informs our review of the interests and obligations involved.
Oil and gas litigation
We handle disputes over oil and gas agreements, ownership interests, and the performance of contractual obligations. Our attorneys address the underlying commercial and property issues as well as the litigation and appellate questions the dispute presents.
