We advise clients on the development, construction, operation, maintenance, financing and acquisition of pipeline, transportation and storage assets across the oil and gas sector. Our work includes commercial agreements, regulatory compliance, construction and procurement, and transactions involving interstate and intrastate infrastructure.

We advise energy companies and service providers with respect to the full range of commercial agreements, including gathering and processing agreements, fractionation agreements, sales and supply agreements, storage agreements and terminaling and export agreements for hydrocarbons and their derivatives, including crude oil, natural gas, produced water, natural gas liquids and refined products. Our experience includes commercial contracting, joint ventures, asset acquisitions and divestitures, regulatory compliance and financing support. We help clients structure and negotiate arrangements that reflect their operational realities and market conditions, supporting efficient field operations and long-term infrastructure investment. In an increasingly regulated environment, the interplay of regulatory and commercial issues becomes particularly important in midstream contracting and financing. Our lawyers have decades of experience in the intersection of those disciplines.
