Oil & Gas

Our Oil & Gas team advises landowners, producers, operators, and service companies on legal issues related to exploration, production, and mineral rights throughout Ohio and beyond. We deliver strategic counsel that helps clients navigate the technical and regulatory complexities of the energy sector.

We assist with lease negotiations, title review, royalty agreements, surface use rights, and joint operating agreements. Our attorneys also represent clients in disputes involving lease interpretation, ownership rights, drainage claims, and payment obligations.

In addition to transactional work and litigation, we counsel clients on compliance with environmental regulations, permitting, and reporting requirements. We stay ahead of changing state and federal energy policies to ensure our clients remain compliant and operationally sound.

Whether you are negotiating a new lease, resolving a royalty dispute, or developing a drilling program, we provide experienced, results-driven legal support that protects your interests and advances your energy goals.
