The group offers strength in royalty ligation, lease obligations, production accounting and environmental claims." Furthermore, The Castañeda Firm is the only Dallas firm that Chambers singled out for Energy & Natural Resources law.

Earning a coveted Chambers ranking is the legal profession's gold standard. With its global reach, Chambers is the go-to resource for identifying legal leaders worldwide. The Castañeda Firm was selected based on an independent and in-depth market analysis, coupled with an assessment of the firm’s experience, expertise, and caliber of talent.

“We are delighted to be recognized by Chambers,” said firm founder Chrysta Castañeda. “This recognition is down to the quality of work we provide our clients and the complex matters we help them navigate.”
