arbitration + mediation (o+g)

​

Helping others resolve their oil + gas disputes.

​

In addition to his practice, George offers oil and gas arbitration and mediation services at GA BIBIKOS LLC.  Oil and gas disputes are often subject to arbitration agreements or the parties elect to pursue mediations in an effort to reach a compromise.  Given his oil and gas experience in Pennsylvania, George is well-positioned to serve as a neutral party when litigants elect to pursue alternative ways to resolve their oil and gas disputes involving (as between landowners and companies) oil and gas ownership issues, oil and gas lease terms, surface use issues, and royalty disputes; and (as between E&P companies and joint operators, contractors or other parties) disputes involving assignments and acquisitions, joint operating agreement obligations, farmout obligations and similar arrangements, disputes over master service agreements, and other contractual disputes involving industry participants. In addition to resolving oil and gas matters, George has served as a special master and mediator in complex litigation matters, assisting federal judges with resolving complicated discovery and related pre-trial disputes in federal court
