New Mexico, Texas Oil and Gas Lawyers
Hinkle, Hensley, Shanor & Martin's natural resources attorneys are among the most experienced in the industry. The Firm has been practicing oil, gas and other natural resources law since the mid-1920s when the first commercial oil and gas wells were drilled in southeastern New Mexico.
In addition to its broad oil and gas practice, the Firm over the years has developed expertise in water, mining and hard rock mineral, and environmental law. The Firm was fortunate in maintaining its entire natural resources group intact through the difficult financial period the industry has experienced in past economic cycles, and thus is well positioned in this area.
Our lawyers specializing in oil, gas and natural resources law also have the support of the Firm's Litigation, Business and Commercial departments, which enables each of the Firm's three offices to successfully serve natural resources clients.
Our areas of specialty within this area of law include:
- Title Examination
- Contracts and Specialized Agreements
- Bank Financing
