Natural Resources

Our Colorado-based Natural Resources attorneys deliver comprehensive legal counsel across oil, gas, and mineral development; water law; renewable energy; and telecommunications infrastructure. We assist clients with regulatory compliance before the Colorado Energy & Carbon Management Commission (ECMC), Colorado Division of Water Resources, and local governments. Our attorneys handle mineral title opinions, water rights adjudications in Colorado’s Water Courts, and permitting and contract negotiation for solar and wind projects.
