With a hands-on industry background as a landman, Casey represents renewable energy developers in real estate transactions, specializing in the often-complex intersection of oil and gas, coal development, and solar projects. She practices from Bridgeport, West Virginia.
Casey manages a wide range of real estate needs, including performing due diligence reviews of wind and solar projects; negotiating and drafting leases, easements, and option agreements; and reviewing and revising purchase and sale agreements and disclosure schedules. Clients regularly rely on her for oil and gas lease and well data analysis, joint use agreements, and clearing title curative tasks related to minerals for wind, solar, and battery storage projects throughout the United States.
Casey's legal career began with a diverse array of real estate and mineral projects, such as the 2017 corporate spin-off of the natural gas arm from a 150-year-old bituminous coal company, compressor stations, interstate natural gas pipelines, hotels, mixed-use developments, senior living and assisted care facilities, affordable housing, commercial and industrial buildings, and major hospital systems in West Virginia, South Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Her experience as a contract landman during the initial Marcellus Shale boom and her exceptional ability to resolve title issues and handle complex easements quickly set her apart. An adept researcher, she excels at uncovering the root of problems and devising effective solutions.
Drawn to the firm’s industry-focused structure and its renowned Energy & Natural Resources group, Casey joined Husch Blackwell in 2023 to focus her real estate practice on the renewable energy sector. Often referred to as the best of both worlds, Casey is known for her unique combination of hands-on experience in traditional energy, legal knowledge, and passion for renewables. Clients value her practical knowledge of the energy industry and her gift for providing solutions to complex problems with equal parts kindness and determination.
