Oil and Gas Legal Services
Holmes PLLC provides skilled representation for Dallas businesses and businesspeople in oil and gas, contract, real estate, tort and commercial matters.
Over 30 Years of Exceptional Representation for the Oil and Gas Industry, and Business Community in Texas.
A Focus on Oil and Gas Law
Holmes PLLC provides efficient and cost-sensitive business and litigation skills across a variety of commercial matters and most particularly for oil and gas transactions, and general business affairs.
The attorneys at Holmes PLLC have substantial knowledge of gas-processing operations and marketing arrangements; the interdependency of gas plants and mature oil reservoirs; cradle-to-grave marketing of gas well gas, casinghead gas, condensate and crude oil; and enhanced oil recovery.
The Firm routinely reviews accounting for joint interests in oil and gas leases, royalty interests and related administration, and severance/production taxation on upstream production. The Firm works also on land management, easements and mineral-leasing negotiations, particularly oil and gas leases for lessors and lessees.
Collaborative Approach to Business Transactions
The Firm’s business clients have developed a transactional practice involving entity formation, trust administration, deeds and conveyancing, bank and equity financing, mineral lease negotiation, minerals management, contract drafting and negotiation, and regulatory compliance.
The transactional practice attends to the Firm’s long-standing client base as well as to entrepreneurial and incipient businesses. Further, the Firm’s transactional practice can provide alternative solutions to wasteful or uneconomical litigation, which the Firm especially strives to avoid.
The Firm works with its clients’ in-house attorneys or lawyers and staff to meet the clients’ transactional needs. The Firm associates with transactional law boutiques when and as necessary, depending upon the size and complexity of the transactional need.
