Attorney Tim Miller will be presenting on “Pitfalls Associated with Affiliate Transactions in the Gas Industry” at the Energy & Mineral Law Foundation’s (EMLF) 39th Annual Institute, June 17-19, 2018. The unbundling of the gas industry in the early 1990s, coupled with spinoffs and business transactions between corporate affiliates, can lead to a variety of legal problems, ranging from royalty litigation, claims of discriminatory conduct, efforts to pierce the corporate veil and loss of certain common law and statutory defenses and immunities. This presentation will examine examples of various types of pitfalls and litigation related to affiliate transactions and operations, and will offer guidance on ways to minimize the risk.
