A common feature for the firm’s clients is that law plays a vital role in their business' success. At H&E, it is our business to help clients achieve their goals and to do this, we think like clients: to understand their industry, critical issues, and opportunities that drive them.

We are privileged to work with an array of clients in the oil and gas industry: from the large publicly traded corporation to the mom-and-pop operator. Regardless of the size, location, or practice of our clients, we work closely with our clients to minimize legal risk and maximize business results, delivering timely and cost-effective solutions.

Although most of our clients are in energy related industries, we make the effort to understand the challenges unique to their particular operations. We understand that the challenges presented by drilling a horizontal well in the Barnett Shale can differ substantially from those facing our clients operating in the Austin Chalk. We know that the civil law considerations facing our Louisiana clients operating in the Haynesville are inapplicable to those developing their oil play in the Bakken.

This understanding of our clients’ business enables us to precisely tailor our services to the needs of the client. We do not view our services as simply a cost of doing business, but rather as adding value to our client’s operations. We aim to be an asset, not an expense.
