Welcome to CoalLaw.com
Dinsmore & Shohl attorneys have long been dedicated to serving the coal industry. We routinely represent clients engaged in every facet of the ownership, development, leasing, extraction, transportation, purchase and sale of coal. From small tract leases to billion dollar asset transfers; from state permitting disputes to federal litigation shaping the contours of the industry's environmental regulations; from mine safety and health to workers compensation; from wrongful discharge claims to representation of management on UMWA matters; and from class actions to the full range of personal injury and property damage litigation coal companies face, we have been there. And our commitment to serve the coal industry has never been greater.
This site is offered as a resource on current issues affecting the coal industry, identifying significant developments, providing in-depth discussion of longer-term trends, and (occasionally) offering the perspectives of key industry participants on hot topics. We invite you to make Coallaw.com one of your regular stops in staying abreast of coal industry legal issues, and we would be most happy to receive suggestions on how we can make this site more useful in serving that purpose. Feel free to contact Chauncey S.R. Curtz or any of the Dinsmore & Shohl Natural Resources attorneys identified on these pages with specific comments and questions.
