Print PDF Energy and Utilities
Our team of energy and utilities lawyers is one of the largest and most experienced in the Midwest. We represent all segments of the energy industry, including crude oil and natural gas producers, service companies, gas marketers, large and small energy consumers, and independent electric power producers and marketers throughout Ohio and the Appalachian Basin.
Our trial lawyers routinely represent clients in state and federal courts, administrative proceedings, and arbitrations involving energy issues. We have extensive experience litigating disputes involving electric deregulation, electric supply and marketing contracts, oil and gas lease royalty claims, drilling and operating agreements, gas purchase contracts, personal injury and wrongful death claims, and product liability issues. In addition, we regularly represent oil and gas clients in lien and collection matters, reorganizations, receiverships, and bankruptcies.
Vorys attorneys have long been leaders in professional organizations in the energy field. Our firm is a charter member of the Energy & Mineral Law Foundation and a long-standing member of the Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation. Our lawyers also have held executive positions with the leading trade organizations in the oil and gas industry both nationally and in the Appalachian Basin, including the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) and the Ohio Oil and Gas Association. For years, Vorys attorneys have actively participated in the Ohio State Bar Association Natural Resource Committee, including serving as chair on three different occasions.
