Florence, a partner in Gardere's litigation group, spoke to The Texas Lawbook about the South Texas decision awarding client Longview Energy Company rights to approximately 46,000 leasehold acres in the Eagle Ford Shale, valued at more than $500 million.

Gordon and Associate Rachel Kingrey worked with Mr. Florence on the case.
