Overview
McKool Smith’s trial lawyers have productive, longstanding relationships with a wide range of participants in the energy sector. While we work toward early resolution of disputes whenever possible, we stand ready to vigorously represent our clients in jury trials, bench trials, arbitration proceedings, and government investigations. Armed with a thorough knowledge of the energy industry’s specific business considerations and complex regulatory environment, our lawyers handle a broad range of energy-related disputes of domestic and international origin, involving the upstream, midstream, downstream and oil field sectors of the oil and gas industry, including LNG and marketing and trading of commodities, and the power generation, distribution, and sale sector, including renewables and co-generation. Our lawyers also routinely represent energy companies in bankruptcy-related matters. We have litigated across the United States and around the world in both federal and state courts and in arbitration proceedings, sometimes in parallel with regulatory proceedings.
