San Antonio Oil and Gas Attorneys

Much of the transactional work our San Antonio Oil and Gas Attorneys do for landowners involves the use of their property by oil and gas companies. We do handle cases involving gas and oil bearing property acquisition and divestiture, midstream assets and more for oil and gas service companies, but our goal is affordable representation of landowners and their legal issues. We recognize that landowners are often fighting against strong legal teams that represent those oil and gas companies.

  • Lawsuits – disputes often arise that require strong legal representation to protect landowner rights
  • Lease Negotiation – landowners benefit from an aggressive and experience legal team at the negotiation table before, during and after leases are signed
  • Rights of Way – access to oil and gas fields is critical to project success
  • Easements – legal permission to run pipelines across property may be necessary; these can affect land use and future value
  • Environmental Compliance – we make sure all requirements for compliance are met

Litigation

Attorneys at the Rutherford Law Firm are experienced litigators who represent clients in state and federal courts across Texas and in arbitration proceedings. Typical lawsuits a landowner may need legal representation to win include:

  • Environment contamination
