Practice Areas

Our deep relationships with federal agencies and extensive knowledge of landmark legislation such as the Mineral Leasing Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Clean Air Act, and others give us an advantage when advocating for our clients at the federal level.

We protect our clients when disputes move into the courtroom. From surface use conflicts to lease interpretations, we understand the importance of protecting your operations and reputation.

The next generation of energy development brings a new frontier of regulations and laws. We have extensive experience with helping clients with carbon capture and sequestration, modular nuclear power, hydrogen storage and transportation, solar generation, and more.

We advise on land use, asset acquisition, curative strategies, and risk assessment, ensuring that our clients have the confidence to move forward — whether they’re looking to drill a single well or embark on a multi-basin project.

Minimizing our clients’ risk and ensuring compliance with the complex web of environmental laws — at the state and federal level — is a core part of our practice. We have experience in air and water quality regulations, wildlife protection, Brownfield management, and more.

Permitting, spacing, setbacks, rulemakings, and more. Whether it’s interfacing with a federal agency or understanding the rules of municipalities that your project touches, we can help you navigate the complex web of regulations at every level.

From entity formation to acquisitions and from joint ventures to operating agreements, our attorneys have dealt extensively with every level of corporate governance, structure, and compliance.
