Texas-based attorneys in Baker Botts’ energy litigation practice group handled a wide range of cases in 2013, from a Mexican state-owned petroleum company’s high-profile lawsuits against U.S. oil and gas producers to a lawsuit against a wind farm that determined, as a matter of law, that Texas doesn’t recognize a claim for aesthetic nuisance.
The attorneys also took advantage of a little-used provision in the Texas Property Code to file bonds to indemnify against liens filed by subcontractors against a client’s oilfield leases in the Eagle Ford Shale, avoiding foreclosure on the leases and trials.
