Commercial Energy Industry Litigator Brandy R. Manning Joins Dykema’s Dallas Office

August, 2022 - Dallas, Texas

Dykema, a leading national law firm, today announced the addition of Brandy R. Manning to its Commercial Litigation Practice Group and Energy and Natural Resources Industry Group as a Member in the firm’s Dallas office. Manning joins Dykema after practicing out of Alston & Bird’s Fort Worth office.

Manning brings more than two decades of commercial trial and appellate experience, with an emphasis on the oil & gas industry. She represents producers, service companies, mineral owners, landowners, royalty owners, lessees, lessors, landowners, and alternative energy clients in oil and gas, general business, and ad valorem tax matters. She is board-certified in civil appellate law and represents clients before administrative bodies, as well as in justice, trial, and appellate courts across Texas and New Mexico.

Manning has been a founding partner of two Permian Basin-based law firms and also previously worked for the largest regional oil and gas law firm in the U.S., where she represented industry stakeholders in a variety of oil and gas-related litigation and appeals. In addition to her experience in private practice, Manning worked as a strategic planning analyst for a major oil and gas company, uniquely situating her to represent her clients’ interests.

“Brandy brings deep and authentic experience in both appellate and oil and gas law,” said Chris Kratovil, Managing Member of Dykema’s Dallas Office. “She is one of the most respected energy litigators in the state, particularly in the appellate space, and she upgrades out already strong Texas oil and gas practice.”

Manning earned a J.D., with honors, from the University of Texas and a B.B.A. in Marketing, summa cum laude, from Texas A&M University.
