The lawyers at Liskow bring a unique combination of capabilities to our representation of clients in energy disputes. First, we have unrivaled experience in the energy industry and understand the technology involved. Second, we know the business of energy equally well. Third, we are aggressive, experienced advocates in every forum in which disputes in the industry are adjudicated. And finally, as energy is one of the most heavily regulated industries in existence, our many decades of experience in energy regulatory matters also makes us uniquely effective as trial lawyers.
Overview
Of these, perhaps our business-first orientation is particularly significant. Especially in the energy industry, we view litigation strategy as an extension of a client’s business strategy. We will go to court, or arbitration, if and only if it makes sense for our client’s business; our extensive experience working with the industry allows us to accurately make this assessment. We often proactively devise strategies to help clients avoid litigation or to best position themselves if litigation is inevitable. By working with Liskow, our clients are often able to forestall expensive, distracting litigation.
We own ownership
One area in which we are very well-known for energy litigation is disputes concerning ownership issues affecting productive or prospective acreage. Since our firm’s inception, we have assisted clients with determining title rights for oil and gas properties. For nearly nine decades, Liskow has been a leader in representing oil and gas companies in the expropriation of needed property rights for pipelines and related facilities and underground natural gas and products storage fields. Such litigation often involves large-scale projects requiring the urgent filing and prosecution of multiple suits.
