A seasoned expert for complex energy transactions

We engaged Richard Hemingway at Holland & Knight to assist with a complicated mineral rights acquisition tied to an existing production lease. His 45 years of deep experience in Texas energy and natural resources law were immediately evident. He navigated the intricate regulatory and title issues with a steady hand, and his recognition in Best Lawyers for Oil and Gas Law was well-deserved. Richard’s strategic advice was invaluable in closing the deal. The only slight drawback was that during peak periods, response times from his team could occasionally lag by a day. That said, for high-stakes matters in the energy sector, his expertise from SMU Law forward is truly exceptional and well worth it.
