Practice Area

Appellate

Our appellate practice is focused on guiding clients through high-stakes, complex appeals with strategic precision and deep subject-matter
expertise. We specialize in appeals before the Texas Supreme Court and Texas Courts of Appeals, particularly in matters involving oil and gas—routinely handling disputes over lease termination, lease interpretation, title and ownership, surface use, royalties, adverse possession, and operating agreements. Our team has secured landmark victories in some of the most consequential oil-and-gas cases in Texas Supreme Court history. In addition, we have substantial experience with appeals involving contractual and statutory interpretation, as well as bankruptcy-related matters. Whether preserving a hard-fought trial win or challenging an adverse decision, our appellate lawyers combine rigorous legal analysis with practical judgment to deliver results that align with our clients’ broader business goals.
