Conventional — and unconventional — experience in the energy industry
Our attorneys have longstanding experience with the oil and gas industry, enabling us to serve producers and midstream and energy service companies in virtually any transaction and to help resolve virtually any dispute.
We’ve grown considerably in recent years, adding more attorneys and establishing new practice groups that focus specifically on the energy industry. Beyond that, we opened an office in Pittsburgh that will allow companies involved in the Marcellus Shale play to take advantage of both our energy expertise and our extensive work in other unconventional natural gas plays like the Barnett, Haynesville, Fayetteville, Woodford, Bakken, and Eagle Ford formations.
Since energy is our primary concentration rather than just one of many practice areas, we can keep pace with, and stay ahead of, changes in the industry and help clients understand, prepare for, and maximize their opportunities.
With a culture that is built around delivering greater value and providing direct access to senior energy attorneys and technical consultants, we offer a level of market knowledge and effectiveness not typically found in costlier general practice firms.
