Robinson & McElwee’s Business & Corporate attorneys regularly advise clients in the oil, gas, coal and timber industries. They routinely handle natural resource matters relating to title certifications, taxes, land acquisitions and leases, contracts, and matters involving commercial and corporate transactions, including stock and asset purchase and sale agreements and mergers and acquisitions. Our attorneys focus on coal, timber, and oil and gas leases, as well as contract mining agreements, overriding royalty agreements, trucking agreements, sales agreements, and transloading agreements. The firm represents timber, coal, and oil and gas companies, as well as individual land owners in natural resource matters. Our attorneys also work with companies and individuals to obtain the financing needed to operate in the natural resource industries. As Marcellus Shale matters present legal questions, we meet the needs of our clients with title certification issues. In addition, attorneys within the firm’s Business & Corporate Practice Group work closely with lawyers in the Energy & Environment Practice Group on matters relating to environmental and administrative law issues, including permitting and licensing, groundwater and surface water uses, due diligence and other issues.
