Fellers Snider brings decades of experience to energy, environmental, and natural resources law. Our team includes attorneys with backgrounds in the judiciary, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, and leadership roles within Fortune 500 companies. This range of perspectives allows us to handle complex transactions, regulatory challenges, and litigation with practical insight and proven problem-solving skills.

Energy Transactions

We guide clients through every stage of energy-related deals, including the lease, purchase, or sale of properties, facilities, equipment, and business entities. Our work spans pre-transaction due diligence and environmental assessments through post-closing remediation and compliance. We draft and negotiate service agreements, purchase and sale contracts, access agreements, and arrangements for handling, transporting, and disposing of hazardous substances and other regulated materials.

Litigation

We’re experienced in high-stakes disputes involving the petroleum and petrochemical industries. Our team handles cases tied to natural gas transportation and sales, royalty disagreements, environmental claims, reservoir damage, right-of-way issues, franchise disputes, shareholder derivative actions, class actions, and personal injury or wrongful death claims involving toxic exposures. We also defend clients in regulatory enforcement actions, natural resource damage cases, citizen suits, and litigation under statutes like CERCLA and RCRA.

Administrative and Regulatory

We advise clients on environmental laws and regulatory requirements at the federal, state, and local levels. Our team represents businesses in administrative proceedings, agency negotiations, and legislative or rule-making processes that impact their operations. We also guide clients through environmental permitting, audits, corrective actions, and remediation planning for new, existing, and expanding facilities.
