Who We Are
Our Core Purpose: To create massive, outsized value.
What does it mean?
Value is defined as, “the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.” At the Holliday Energy Law Group, we strive to create massive, outsized value in everything we do, including in ways that make us indispensable to our clients, partners and team members.
How do we express it?
We deliver more than just legal advice. Most people think of us as a law firm that advises clients on oil and gas title, regulatory, and operational issues, but what we really do is….
- We advance careers for the people (clients) at the companies we work with. We do this by consistently placing their projects in a position to succeed.
- We create competitive advantage for the companies we work with. We do this primarily by identifying and mitigating legal risk with practical solutions so that the client can focus on creating value.
Our value as a firm is directly proportional to the value we create for others. We seek to create massive outsized value.
Our Core Values
- The Obstacle is the Way- Obstacles or challenges do not block the path forward; they are the path forward. Face them objectively and seize the opportunity they present.
- Be Smart- Seek the emotional intelligence to understand the dynamics of yourself, the people around you, and how the things you say and do will impact them.
- Take Ownership- Each team member “owns” everything in their world - the problem and the solution. No excuses. No blame. All responsibility for success or failure ultimately rests on your shoulders.
- A Duty to Serve- As successful professionals, we have a duty to give back to the communities - professional and personal - that have allowed us to thrive.
- Cover and Move- Teamwork. Always seek to understand your role in the process, who you support, who supports you, and how you can more effectively leverage those networks to create better outcomes.
- High Motor- We consistently do what it takes to make it happen.
