Solidifying its presence in the Southwest and expanding its energy practice, Fox Rothschild LLP has opened an office in Oklahoma City, OK, led by Partner Robin Fields, effective March 7.

Fields and her team – Partners Matthew Allen, John Reeves and Heidi Nichols and Associate Valerie Hatami – have an extensive track record representing businesses — particularly in the energy industry — in litigation, regulatory compliance and transactional matters. They will lead the opening of the firm’s newest U.S. location, at 210 Park Avenue, Suite 1800, Oklahoma City, OK 73102.

“We are excited to open this new chapter in our firmwide expansion in Oklahoma City, with its diversified economy and robust energy and environmental sector,” said Mark L. Silow, Chair of Fox Rothschild. “Robin and her team are superb and savvy business litigators with deep roots in the community. We look forward to Robin’s leadership as we strategically expand in this new market.”

Fields and her team counsel a wide range of companies immersed in the oil and gas, telecommunications, utilities, transportation and health care sectors on business-critical issues such as oil and gas conservation, commercial litigation, environmental cleanups and compliance matters, lease disputes, energy contracts and class action lawsuits.

“Fox has a robust national platform that will allow us to provide a heightened level of service to our clients,” said Fields. “This is an exciting opportunity for us to give our clients access to new technologies and practice areas and a talented pool of attorneys throughout the United States.”

Prior to joining Fox, Fields and her team were with Conner & Winters LLP.
