Mining, Oil & Gas / Marcellus Shale

The mining and oil and gas industries are heavily regulated, and our lawyers know the regulations governing safety and the responsibilities of operators.

We have represented companies and their insurers in mine subsidence, property damages, serious injury, and federal Black Lung Act claims. Our services are offered to coal and mineral mine owners and operators, drilling operators, transportation and storage operations, pipeline owners and operators and distribution system operators. We have the skill and background to defend the rights of excavation outfits, heavy equipment manufacturers and suppliers, geological surveyors, dynamite handlers, transportation services, remediation entities, landfill operators, health and safety concerns.

We are uniquely equipped as well to handle the various types of issues and litigation which have arisen or which may arise out of development of resources from the Marcellus Shale area in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio. We can represent the interests of various industry entities and property owners, on matters as diverse as leases and permits, mineral rights, environmental issues, breach of contract claims, royalty issues, federal pre-emption concerns and regulatory issues. Please contact Mark Gesk to address your needs in this industry.
