Oil + Gas Foreclosure Litigation and Resolution

Our firm recently resolved multi-million-dollar foreclosure litigation relating to real estate and mineral interests. These negotiations involved the resolution of an amount claimed due for an oil and gas development loan and a lien on oil and gas interests. The successful resolution included the creation of a new oil and gas lease, securitization documents and a work-out agreement.

Workout and Friendly Foreclosure of Failing Pipeline Company’s Assets

In this case, the pipeline company failed during completion of a major project for a mid-stream transporter during the rainy winter season; the mid-stream transporter alleged faulty construction and the pipeline company defaulted on its loan. Attorneys at Kegler Brown negotiated a loan workout between the lender, the mid-stream transporter and the pipeline construction company, as well as other creditors, to complete construction, release liens, sell assets and pay debts.
