Ryan Gaddis has spent years on the front lines of high-stakes litigation in the oil and gas industry. He brings a sharp eye and an experienced mind to his cases, drawing from his prior work as an in-house landman for a large, Houston-based independent exploration and production company in the Haynesville Shale, SCOOP, and Permian and Delaware Basins.
While at Burns Charest, Ryan has handled a wide variety of energy-related cases, including title disputes, royalty underpayments, lease disputes, surface use disputes, JOA disputes, and breach of contract actions. Driven by a powerful work ethic and attention to detail, Ryan’s prior experience gives him a leg up on litigating energy matters and focusing on his client’s goals.
In his downtime, Ryan enjoys traveling with his wife Rachel and going on outings with their German Shepherd, Raider.
