Beatty & Wozniak, P.C.

What Beatty & Wozniak, P.C. does

Beatty & Wozniak, P.C. is a Denver-headquartered, full-service U.S. law firm founded in 1998 by Michael Beatty that is 100% dedicated to energy and natural resources law. The firm operates from four offices — Denver (headquarters, relocating to 1801 California Street effective May 1, 2026), Casper and Sheridan in Wyoming, and Santa Fe in New Mexico — and its attorneys are licensed in more than 18 states and the District of Columbia. It serves enterprise clients including Fortune 100 oil and gas companies, upstream and midstream operators, renewable energy developers, pipeline and transmission companies, mining and mineral extraction firms, carbon capture and clean-tech clients, trade associations, and investment vehicles, with matters spanning federal land access, litigation, environmental compliance, mineral title, and transactional work.

The firm delivers seven integrated practice areas: Federal Practice (BLM, USFS, and other federal land agencies), Litigation, Emerging Energy & Infrastructure (solar, wind, hydrogen, CCS, modular nuclear, grid), Mineral Title Examination & Due Diligence, Environmental Practice, Regulatory Practice, and Transactional & Corporate. Its competitive position is built on two-plus decades of exclusive energy focus, deep institutional relationships with agencies including BLM, EPA, PHMSA, ONRR, FERC, and USACE, and a talent bench that includes former agency attorneys (notably PHMSA), former in-house counsel at major energy companies, federal appellate clerks, and a 35-year veteran now serving as the firm's first General Counsel in Residence.

Beatty & Wozniak generates revenue through professional legal service fees — primarily hourly billing, fixed fees for discrete matters such as title opinions and regulatory filings, and negotiated alternative arrangements — priced on a quote basis for enterprise clients under multi-year engagements. The firm is a privately held professional corporation under Colorado law, independently owned by its partners with no disclosed private equity, venture capital, or parent-company ownership. It does not have funding rounds, subsidiaries, or disclosed revenue figures, and its technology footprint is limited to standard professional-services tooling supporting its content marketing and practice operations.
