energy LITIGATION AND arbitration Lawyers in Texas
Representing Energy Industry Clients Nationwide
The energy business, particularly oil and gas exploration and development, is risky, dangerous, and very expensive. When it is successful, however, it produces enormous upside potential. This combination of cost, risk, and reward often provides fertile ground for legal disputes, which can be extremely complex and involve large sums of money.
