Invaluable counsel for a complex energy asset acquisition

Our company recently faced a high-stakes acquisition of several midstream energy assets in Pennsylvania. The transaction was fraught with complex title issues, environmental due diligence hurdles, and intricate regulatory considerations specific to the Appalachian basin. We engaged Bruce Rudoy based on his deep-rooted reputation in energy law. From the outset, his 33 years of focused experience was evident. He didn't just review documents; he provided strategic, business-minded counsel informed by his finance background from Penn State. His leadership of Babst Calland's Energy and Natural Resources group and his recognition in Corporate and M&A Law were not just accolades on a website—they translated directly into practical, results-oriented guidance. Bruce and his team meticulously navigated the title curative work and negotiated terms that protected our interests while keeping the deal on track. His calm, steady professionalism under pressure was as impressive as his legal acumen. The transaction closed successfully, and we have since retained him for ongoing matters, confident we have a true expert in our corner. His blend of technical mastery and strategic vision is exceptional.
