Pennsylvania, particularly the northeastern part of the state, sits atop a large supply of untouched natural gas, according to environmental lawyer Kermit L. Rader, and now a small Lansdale, Pa.-based general practice firm is aiming to tap into the industry built around extracting this natural resource.

Hamburg Rubin Mullin Maxwell & Lupin recently announced its new gas leasing and development practice group, which is designed to assist landowners whose property sits on gas reserves with the process of securing leasing and development contracts with gas companies.
