Natural Resources

Simon Semenoff’s natural resource practice covers all of the major domestic extractive industries: oil and gas, minerals (hard rock and industrial) and coal. We represent clients in all phases of natural resource resourcesdevelopment from prospecting through project development and operation to reclamation and closure.

Our lawyers have developed particular expertise in matters related to natural resource projects located on Federal and Tribal land. In addition, clients have retained us to advise and represent them in the development of mining projects located outside the United States. In this regard, we have significant experience in Central and South America; Central Asia and the former Soviet Union; and the Far East. Based on the geographic distribution of recent hard rock mining projects, we expect our practice to continue to have a significant international focus.
