Oil and Gas

Doré Rothberg Law, P.C. has served clients in the oil and gas industry since the firm’s inception. Our founding attorney, Carl Doré spent more than ten years as a petroleum engineer before beginning his legal career, and the oil and gas law firm he established offers a depth of industry knowledge that is unmatched by most firms. As the practice has grown, oil and gas service companies continue to make up much of Doré Rothberg’s client base, and some have been with the firm for over 30 years.

While steeped in the intricacies of Texas oil and gas law, our team handles oil and gas issues impacting our clients throughout the country. As an industry leader for over 30 years, Dore Rothberg maintains strategic relationships with local counsel, experts, and oil & gas industry leaders across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. If oil and gas is found there, the odds are that Dore Rothberg lawyers have filed a lien there.

Our familiarity with oil and gas law as well as industry practices and our clients’ businesses, enables us to provide comprehensive legal services. We have a reputation for being problem-solvers, but we do more than simply help resolve disputes that have arisen. We lay the groundwork for our clients to achieve their business goals, ensure their compliance with complex regulations, help them define their rights and obligations, and work to prevent unnecessary conflict and expense whenever possible.
