Familiarity with state-specific oil and gas statutes, regulatory permitting, royalty frameworks, and environmental considerations affecting operations.
Ability to manage multiple matters and deadlines, work cross-functionally with technical and commercial teams, and provide client-focused, commercially minded advice.
Excellent oral and written communication skills and proven ability to build relationships with clients, industry partners, and colleagues.
