Globally, Norton Rose Fulbright’s collective 250 year history has strong ties to the energy industry. In the United States in particular, our 100 year history was born in Houston due in large part to the city’s dedication to the energy industry and our firm’s litigators. We have extensive experience representing international and national oil companies, energy producers, pipelines, energy traders, energy storage providers, refineries, chemical plants, and distributors in the courtroom and the boardroom regarding the ever-changing landscape of state and federal litigation.
We represent all the key players in the industry’s most noteworthy cases, including oilfield services providers, drilling companies, energy marketers, and petroleum refining operators. A fundamental attribute of our team that sets us apart from other firms is the in-depth US energy industry sector knowledge that comes from multiple decades of representing companies in upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas cases.
Additionally, we have extensive experience before the state and federal judges and courts that most frequently see energy litigation in California, Texas, Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and New York.
