Oil & Gas

Oil and Gas Law and Litigation now affects business, industry and individuals in every community. America's campaign to reduce the need for foreign energy has opened a window of opportunity for developers, producers, pipeline aggregators, and even the common citizen whose property is now a gateway to major underground resources. At the same time, environmental limits, exposure to liability, and highly complicated federal, state and local regulation have made this subject a risky area for large and small participants.
