Burleson LLP Named No. 2 Energy Law Firm By San Antonio Business Journal

SAN ANTONIO, March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Burleson LLP, a full-service law firm devoted primarily to the oil and gas industry, announced that it has earned the No. 2 ranking in the San Antonio Business Journal's list of energy law firms.  The news underscores the firm's commitment to serving companies with interests in the Eagle Ford Shale and other formations throughout the United States. 

Burleson's San Antonio office has more lawyers focused on the energy sector than any other firm in the Alamo City.  Its 15 local attorneys handle matters spanning various practice areas, including litigation, environmental law, tax, finance, estate planning, corporate securities, mergers and acquisitions, and title law. 

San Antonio managing partner Alex Perez said the firm's ongoing focus on delivering legal expertise in areas critical to regional operations has played a key role in driving growth. 

"Our strategy has boiled down to putting the right people in place to handle the issues important to oil and gas companies in the region," explained Perez.  "We're constantly looking at opportunities to fill the gap and strengthen the value we bring to businesses in and out of the energy sector."

In the last two years, the San Antonio location has further broadened its oil and gas litigation and dispute resolution capabilities.  Its litigators handle a variety of matters including commercial transactions; investments; title law; civil, structural, and geotechnical engineering issues; fire and explosion investigations; construction law; and personal injury cases.

Burleson also established a Latin American practice to deliver counsel to North American clients seeking to enter the Latin American market and to Latin American clients looking to expand and enhance their presence in the United States.  Although the group focuses on oil and gas law, its bilingual, multicultural attorneys also counsel multinational clients on a wide range of matters related to IPOs and debt offerings, mergers and acquisitions, due diligence, corporate law, commercial transactions, litigation, tax planning, and foreign investment assistance. 

Burleson's San Antonio office is located in the Weston Centre at 112 East Pecan Street.  For more information on the list, visit www.bizjournals.com/sanantonio.
