Oil & Gas Litigation

Handling oil and gas litigation cases requires experience, knowledge of the industry, and the ability to create innovative and effective strategies. At Dobrowski L.L.P. in Houston, Texas, we recognize that millions of dollars are at stake for both plaintiffs and defendants.

Oil and gas litigation is a specific type of practice area unto itself. Texas is well known as a major oil-producing state. The unique aspects of a lawsuit in the oil and gas industry are numerous and require the experience of a seasoned oil and gas litigation attorney.

In one particular case, we represented Diamond Offshore Drilling Limited. Our client alleged that a large oil and gas equipment manufacturing company committed fraud, breach of contract, and breach of warranty in the failure after 30 days of a deep-water drilling riser purchased for $7 million. That case itself involved 120 fact witnesses in the United States, Europe, and Asia and included a document database of more than 300,000 entries. In that case, our clients received a $22.75 million settlement.

Numerous witnesses and large document databases require effective management of the complex case coupled with strict attention to detail. Dobrowski L.L.P. has gained a reputation throughout the state of Texas as a premier oil and gas litigation firm. Our objectives are to collect the facts and identify and exploit the weakness of the opposing side's case. Settlement is a faster way to end a legal dispute, but we are litigators by trade and will take your case into the courtroom if that provides us the best resolution.
