I’m looking for a mineral rights attorney who would be willing to review a lease agreement for a couple hours and provide general feedback. Firms I’ve contacted have provided the full price sheet including required retainers, etc. which is a bit more than what I’m looking for.
Ts&Cs of agreement are not flexible - I just want to make sure the are no glaring red flags. Thanks
You can observe qualified professionals (often with localized expertise) who provide services to mineral owners right here on The Mineral Rights Forum. You will notice them in 3 different places on the site:
in display image ads and text links on site
in our Mineral Services Directory in the main navigation bar above. These are arranged by professional discipline.
look for posts with blue text and a blue badge on their avatar (photo). This distinguishes a Business Member. See their Business Profile for the services they offer.
These practitioners are often able to provide specific (and often localized) services that meet your needs.

You’ll have to provide the State involved.
Unless this is a highly complex OGL, then a few hours is way too much time. If you want the attorney to advise, draft and negotiate an alternate OGL, then you are talking a greater time commitment.
