Negotiating Surface Lease and Right of Way Agreements

When energy and transmission companies seek access to your land for well sites, pipelines, or power transmission lines, it's essential to have strong representation to protect your rights and secure fair compensation. At My Landman Group, we specialize in negotiating Surface Lease and Right of Way Agreements to ensure that landowners maintain control over their property while benefiting from its use.

Protecting Landowner Rights

Negotiating agreements with oil, gas, and electrical transmission companies requires a thorough understanding of legal terms, industry standards, and landowner protections. Without proper guidance, landowners may face unfavourable terms that limit their land use, provide insufficient compensation, or leave them vulnerable to long-term liabilities. Our team ensures that every agreement is fair, clear, and beneficial to landowners.

Securing Fair Compensation

Energy and utility companies often present standard agreements that do not always reflect the true value of your land or the long-term impact of their projects. Our negotiation process considers key factors such as:

• Land Disruption: The extent to which operations will affect your ability to use the land for agriculture, development, or other purposes.
• Environmental Impact: Measures to prevent and mitigate soil degradation, water contamination, and long-term ecological effects.
• Market Comparisons: Ensuring your compensation aligns with current industry standards and is not undervalued.
• Ongoing Payments: Establishing fair terms for rental fees, renewal clauses, and any additional compensation over time.

Ensuring Favourable Agreement Terms

Beyond financial compensation, the details of a Surface Lease or Right of Way Agreement can have lasting implications. Our team works diligently to:

• Clarify Land Use Restrictions: Ensuring your rights to use and develop your land are not unnecessarily restricted.
• Define Project Boundaries: Preventing excessive encroachment beyond agreed-upon areas.
• Establish Clear Exit Strategies: Ensuring companies are responsible for land restoration and decommissioning after project completion.
• Protect Against Liability: Preventing landowners from being held responsible for spills, environmental damage, or operational failures.
