Oil & Gas

Houston Oil and Gas Attorneys

At Adair & Myers, PLLC, our lawyers have extensive experience in the oil and gas industry. We advise drilling companies, oil field service companies, and landowners in exploration, oil and gas leases, contracts, production, royalties, and other matters. We also represent clients in the litigation of any disputes that may arise.

Three of our five attorneys – William “Ben” Adair, Thomas Graves, and Larry Myers – have backgrounds in the oil and gas industry. Thomas Graves spent the first fifteen years of his legal career as in-house counsel for three different exploration and production companies, giving him first-hand understanding of how the oil and gas business works.

The firm's background in real estate law enables us to offer professional assistance with the sale and purchase of oil- and gas-producing properties, as well as with oil and gas leases. We can assist with such crucial matters as title examinations and financing.

Our experience in business litigation offers real insight to our oil and gas clients. Because we litigate oil and gas contracts, we understand how these contracts need to be put together to avoid litigation. Likewise, our long experience drafting oil and gas agreements means we know where problems often occur and how to find weaknesses should litigation develop.

Our experience in business organization helps us create business entities offering the maximum tax benefits and asset protection for drilling companies, oil field service companies, and landowners.

Our attorneys are also experienced in negotiating joint oil and gas ventures with international companies. We represent clients who are doing business in the United States as well as in Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Our approach is to focus on each client's background, needs, and goals.
