Hydraulic Fracturing
As the United States grapples with balancing its national energy and national environmental policies, energy and environmental groups have increasingly focused their attention on the risks and rewards of developing the nation’s natural gas reserves through hydraulic fracturing (or “fracking”) of our vast domestic shale gas reserves. The fracking process has become much scrutinized in the press and is a target of plaintiffs’ attorneys nationwide. To support our clients in the insurance, energy and real estate industries in responding to issues arising from hydraulic fracking, Sedgwick LLP has formed an interdisciplinary, cross-practice Hydraulic Fracturing Task Force.

Our task force is comprised of skilled and experienced lawyers from both our domestic and international offices who regularly litigate and provide counsel on complex insurance coverage matters, defend a variety of companies in the energy industry, and handle a wide range of environmental, land use and real estate issues. Our attorneys have substantial knowledge of and experience in oil and gas exploration, geology, and environmental science.
As the number of wells that are fracked expands, and regulation and litigation at the state and federal levels increases, our Hydraulic Fracturing Task Force attorneys are well prepared to advise and defend clients anywhere in the country. Our task force attorneys are available to counsel clients on the various legal, environmental and coverage issues arising out of the fracking process, and provide a full range of legal representation.
