ABOUT LAUREN COURTNEY MASTIO

I am a partner at Jones Walker LLP and member of the firm’s board of directors. I handle all aspects of litigation, with a focus on the energy and construction industries. Through my client-focused approach to the practice of law, I am not only able to provide excellent representation to litigation clients, but I am able to understand and appreciate all aspects of our clients\' businesses and connect them with others who can fulfill their legal and business needs. One of the most rewarding aspects of working at a full service firm such as Jones Walker LLP is the ability to connect clients across a variety of industries with attorneys who can provide exceptional advices in their area(s) of need. Specifically, I advise clients on a broad range commercial and regulatory disputes. I advise and represent oil and gas industry clients on matters concerning property contamination and restoration; downhole issues; land loss and subsidence; the rights and obligations of parties to joint operating agreements, oil, gas, and mineral leases, surface leases, oil and gas asset purchases, drilling contracts, and pipeline right-of-way agreements; claims under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act; claims under the Louisiana Oil Well Lien Act; and matters arising out of and relating to containment event scenarios. Additionally, I advise clients in connection with terminalling, transportation and storage agreements as well as fabrication agreements. I have represented independent producers, major producers, pipeline companies, significant landowners, fabrication companies, power companies, and product storage and terminalling companies.I also have an active construction law practice, where I counsel contractors and subcontractors in construction litigation and a range of commercial disputes. I represent clients in cases at the state and federal levels in matters involving design errors, defective specifications, delay in construction claims, change orders, and payment disputes.
