Hogan Thompson Schuelke

Hogan Thompson Schuelke LLP is a litigation boutique based in Houston, Texas, working exclusively on disputes in the energy industry. Founded in 2020 by Christopher Hogan and Samantha Thompson, the firm has since added James Schuelke as a third named partner and grown from two founding partners to a team of experienced trial attorneys. It represents Fortune 500 companies, mid-sized businesses and individuals in complex commercial disputes in state and federal courts across the United States.

Its practice covers oil and gas litigation, including mineral rights and royalty disputes, alongside energy-related construction disputes, renewable energy matters, arbitration and general complex commercial litigation. The three named partners hold deep expertise in upstream and midstream oil and gas work. All of the firm's trial attorneys have served as federal judicial clerks.

The firm operates a lean staffing model and offers flexible fee structures, and reports recognition from Chambers and Partners and Legal 500. It describes an exclusive industry focus on energy rather than a generalist practice, and a commitment to hiring and developing attorneys with federal judicial clerkship experience.
