Oil & Gas Litigation

Bracewell is one of the few “go-to” oil and gas litigation firms with a strong national reach. For over 75 years, our lawyers have handled disputes, earning the respect of both judges and our adversaries. In short, we are one of the leading and most recognized (in terms of awards and client engagements) litigation firms in Texas and the United States.

The key to our continued success is to function as a litigation boutique within an international law firm, which focuses on energy. Bracewell trial lawyers work together to ensure that our clients have the best, most experienced and most cohesive team for each matter. We compete both with our Big Law competitors and with the elite boutiques on quality of lawyering rather than on the quantity of lawyers we field. The results speak for themselves: Our client and case lists reflect the success of our strategy.

We have fought and won cases for energy clients involving royalty disputes-private litigation, royalty disputes-government actions, upstream oil and gas operations, supply contract litigation, service contract litigation, energy project construction disputes, downstream operations and contracts, pricing and trading litigation, trade secrets (both oilfield technology and geology), regulatory reviews and rate-making proceedings, government investigations and litigation, and international arbitration.
