Gordon Arata Montgomery Barnett is pleased to announce that attorney Kelly Perrier is a recipient of the 2020 Co-Landmen of the Year Award from the Professional Landmen’s Association of New Orleans (PLANO). The award honors Kelly’s contributions to PLANO’s 2020 Executive Night event and her role coordinating PLANO’s educational programming, including presentations for the AAPL Gulf Coast Land Institute in October 2019.

Kelly practices law in the areas of oil, gas, and energy litigation and commercial litigation, particularly focusing on claims of historical and ongoing environmental damage allegedly caused by oil and gas exploration and production activities, commonly referred to as “legacy litigation.” She has also represented many independent oil and gas companies in responding to compliance notices issued by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality.

Kelly has served on the PLANO Board of Directors since July 2019 and regularly speaks and writes on legal matters related to the oil and gas industry.
