With a changing political landscape destined to impact the energy sector, new business opportunities appear certain for midstream energy companies. Seizing those opportunities while avoiding the incumbent risks requires legal counsel with extensive knowledge and hands-on industry experience.

Akerman's integrated Energy Sector Team advises clients on legal issues impacting the midstream sector. Our experienced trial lawyers resolve disputes stemming from pipeline-related work for natural gas transmitters, gathering systems, storage facilities, processing and treatment plants, and LNG facilities. In addition, we assist clients with acquisitions, divestitures, and joint ventures pertaining to midstream assets. We also advise our clients on rules and regulations enforced by the Texas Railroad Commission (RRC) and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

Our team has detailed knowledge of agreements governing the processing, gathering, and transportation of natural gas and petroleum products. We guide clients through commercial endeavors and litigation associated with the planning, siting and operation of pipelines and related facilities, and regularly conduct analysis of complex issues involving disputes, permitting and regulatory requirements.
