Brine and Lithium Rights

Don’t negotiate your brine or lithium lease alone.

Arkansas Brine and Lithium Lawyer

The lithium boom in South Arkansas has created opportunity — and confusion.

If you’ve received a brine or lithium lease offer in Miller, Lafayette, or Columbia County, you’re dealing with companies that negotiate these agreements every day. For most mineral owners, this may be the only time you ever see one.

The truth is simple:
These companies are sophisticated. Market information is limited. And most signed deals are subject to confidentiality agreements — which means reliable pricing data can be hard to find.

If you negotiate alone, you may never know whether you left money or protections on the table.

Why Professional Representation Matters

Brine and lithium leases are not simple oil-and-gas leases. They often involve:

  • Long primary terms

  • Complex royalty language

  • Water use and surface access provisions

  • Assignment rights

  • Post-production cost language

  • Confidential pricing structures

A few sentences in a lease can dramatically affect long-term value.

My role is to help you understand:

  • What the offer really says

  • What is negotiable

  • What is reasonable in this market

  • And whether the deal makes sense for you

No Upfront Fees

In most brine and lithium negotiations, my fee is contingent upon successfully improving and closing an acceptable offer.

That means:

  • No money out of pocket to begin

  • Alignment of interests

  • Focus on results

If the deal doesn’t close on acceptable terms, you’re not writing a check just for asking questions.

Experience From All Sides of the Table

I have represented:

  • Energy companies

  • State regulators

  • Land acquisition firms

  • Consumer and advocacy groups

  • And now, landowners and mineral owners

That experience matters. I understand how these agreements are structured and how negotiations actually work behind the scenes.

If You’ve Received an Offer

If a company has contacted you about:

  • A brine lease

  • A lithium exploration agreement

  • A bonus payment proposal

  • Or a “standard form” lease

It’s worth a conversation before you sign anything.

You don’t have to decide on the phone.
You just need to understand what you’re being asked to give up — and what you could reasonably ask for.

South Arkansas Focus

The Smackover Formation has brought intense activity to:

  • Miller County, Arkansas

  • Lafayette County, Arkansas

  • Columbia County, Arkansas

  • Union County, Arkansas

If your minerals are located in one of these areas, timing and information matter.

Call Before You Sign

Once a lease is signed and funded, your leverage changes.

If you want clear guidance and practical negotiation strategy, the best next step is a phone call.
