In an era of difficult commodity pricing, energy companies need solutions that are cost-effective and proactive. With well over a decade of multidisciplinary experience in representing oil and gas clients in nearly every facet of business and litigation, Bradley has the legal and technical knowledge to negotiate, develop, and manage legal projects in a manner that protects and enhances your operations.

Bradley attorneys provide business and litigation support for companies of all sizes, from publicly traded global entities to small private businesses. We serve clients operating upstream, including exploration and production, as well as products and services; midstream; and downstream, including oil, gas, and chemical plants. We advise clients with efficient, proactive legal guidance that minimizes risk and reduces their exposure to litigation, with an aim toward supporting their long-term business goals. When litigation cannot be avoided, our partners have represented clients in court in every major oil- and gas-producing state.

The firm offers a wide range of legal services to oil and gas clients, including assisting with operational matters, training oil and gas professionals in drafting and negotiating master service agreements (MSAs), regulatory compliance, catastrophic loss, OSHA investigations, indemnity agreements and insurance disputes, and complex litigation involving trade secrets and non-compete agreements. The practice also leverages Bradley’s breadth of counsel to offer full-service business support in areas such as real estate, construction, bankruptcy, and employment, emphasizing client-first representation and acting as a force multiplier for your company.
