We are known for these strengths

  • We work on onshore and offshore operations of domestic and international clients – from small and mid-sized to the world’s largest integrated energy companies. These deals include exploration, production, processing, sale, and distribution of oil and natural gas and related products. They also include acquisition of surface rights and underground storage rights for renewable energy and carbon capture projects, as well as negotiating engineering, procurement and construction and offtake agreements for such projects.
  • We are creative: we can help our clients pool capital and spread risk with the formation of contractual joint ventures, partnerships, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, and other business enterprises.
  • Efficient staffing means we bring together the right team to represent our clients in various types of financing, including mortgages and other secured loans, UCC equipment financing transactions, mezzanine loans, farmouts and production payments.
  • Our lawyers have previous experience as geologists and in-house counsel and have held various positions at regulatory agencies and in local government. Our relationships with the regulatory authorities date back to the inception of our firm 90 years ago. This experience allows us to anticipate a broad range of issues in a transaction.
  • Our collaborative approach allows us to find the right attorney for any type of legal matter. Should a deal end up in dispute, our litigators can draw on the firm’s historical experiences in energy litigation, which includes acting as counsel on a number of landmark decisions.
Outstanding reputation for its longstanding prominence in the oil and gas market.
