| Oil & Gas |
Cotten Schmidt provides legal services and advice to business organizations and individual property owners concerning oil-and-gas related matters including drafting and negotiating mineral leases, handling royalty disputes, and surface-damage claims arising from drilling and production operations. We also provide legal counsel and advice to landowners faced with an eminent domain action brought by a pipeline company seeking an easement through land. The firm’s legal services include representation of landowners at eminent domain Special Commissioners’ Hearings and the appeal of Special Commissioners’ awards.
Cotten Schmidt also offers legal representation to businesses and landowners in negotiating and drafting highly technical oil-and-gas leases with a focus on not only bonus and royalty payments, but also surface-estate owner’s rights including the location of drilling-pad sites, flow line placement, road access, surface- water use, and noise issues.
Our attorneys additionally provide legal advice to landowners concerning estate-planning problems arising from oil-and-gas leases.
