Burleson LLP Company Profile
Experience. Our partners are primarily senior-level attorneys who come from major law firms and large oil and gas companies. They have more than an academic understanding of the oil and gas business - they have been landmen, petroleum engineers, and drillers, and over 30 of our attorneys have worked as in-house counsel with energy companies. Seven of our attorneys are Board Certified in Oil, Gas and Mineral Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
Growth. Our growth has mirrored the development of the unconventional shale plays in the United States. Since 2005, the firm has grown from a two-person operation to over 130 attorneys in three states and is ranked in the 2012 NLJ 350 of the National Law Journal.
Reach. Burleson's portfolio of work includes clients with interests in the Barnett, Bakken, Eagle Ford, Fayetteville, Haynesville, Marcellus, Mississippi Lime, Niobrara, Permian Basin, Utica, and Woodford shale formations. Our attorneys are licensed in over 20 states.
Value. Our rates are lower than those you would expect to find in a firm of our size and with our level of experience.
