Career

Plaintiffs and defendants rely on Mike Oldham’s exceptional ability to explain complicated issues and persuasively tell his clients’ stories to a jury. An industry generalist by choice, Mike has an impressive track record of successfully handling high stakes and contingency fee cases for companies, private equity groups, and entrepreneurs. His clients have included Conoco Phillips, DCP Midstream, ExxonMobil, Texas Children’s Hospital, Magellan, Bessemer Trust, NewQuest Properties, and Avera Companies. Mike’s private equity clients have included The Sterling Group, The Stephens Group, Luxor Capital, and portfolio companies of Quantum Energy Partners, One Stone Energy Partners, Clearlake Capital Group, Riverstone, First Reserve and Cerberus.

Mike is known for his relentless determination and ability to get up to speed quickly. In one particularly noteworthy case, he was hired by a major energy company to try an oil and gas accounting case that had been pending for years. After trying the case to a jury, Mike won all the claims in the client’s favor and so impressed both sides of the dispute that both the plaintiff and the defendant hired Mike to represent them in other major disputes the following year.
