Gray Reed Receives JD Supra’s 2017 Reader’s Choice Award for Energy & The Law Blog

Gray Reed is proud to announce the recognition of Charlie Sartain, author and editor of Energy & The Law, as a Top Author in the 2017 JD Supra Readers' Choice Awards. The awards honored the firms and authors with the highest readership and engagement on key cross-industry topics across 25 industries as selected from over 40,000 contributing authors.

Directed to the energy executive and landman, as well as the in-house attorney, Energy & The Law is a resource for legal developments, commentary and analysis of the law of oil and gas and alternative energy resources.

“My goal for this blog is to report on developments in energy law in a way that is easy to understand and convenient to use,” Sartain says. “I want any operator, landman, engineer, investor, royalty owner, or manager to be able to determine how, or if, a recent court decision, statute, regulation or news item could affect their business. I want any practitioner or in-house counsel to be able to determine quickly and efficiently whether a recent development in the law might require more of their attention”

In a career spanning more than 30 years, Sartain has successfully resolved a wide variety of commercial disputes by utilizing his skills in litigation, arbitration and negotiation. His expertise includes cases involving oil and gas, health care, business torts, noncompetition agreements and theft of trade secrets, contracts, injunctions, employment discrimination and Election Code disputes.
