Gregory Krock

Practice Areas

Gregory J. Krock represents clients in complex commercial litigation matters involving the oil and gas, electric utilities and coal industries. His experience includes litigating contract disputes, unfair competition claims, toxic tort cases and other business disputes before state, federal and appellate courts. For example, Greg has litigated royalty and lease disputes, claims involving hydraulic fracturing, contract disputes between drilling companies and their contractors, disagreements involving joint operating agreements, and a myriad of disputes involving natural gas pipelines. He served as lead counsel in Butler v. Powers, in which the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled for his client, preserving the state’s so-called Dunham Rule and affirming that natural gas rights are separate from mineral rights in the state. The opinion protected thousands of lease deals between landowners and developers in the state’s Marcellus Shale region.

In addition to his energy litigation practice, Greg has litigated disputes involving unfair competition, covenants not to compete, trade secrets and shareholder disputes. He also maintains a niche practice involving First Amendment issues faced by public transit agencies.
