About Brittanie

Brittanie Wagnon Carpenter began her oil and gas work when she started at BMKS in the Shreveport office in 2017. Since then, Brittanie has represented major and independent energy companies in litigation, title examination, and division order work. She advises clients in many stages of oil and gas exploration, including matters related to lease disputes, landowner, mineral owner, and royalty owner demands, title issues, and Louisiana risk-fee issues. Brittanie has examined title in the various oil and gas fields in Louisiana. She enjoys rendering drill site, preliminary, and division order title opinions in addition to helping clients with curative work. Beyond oil and gas, Brittanie provides advice to businesses regarding employment law, with an emphasis on handbooks, policies, and contracts, litigates in defense of large insurance companies in their special investigative units, including coverage opinions, examinations under oath, and defense of both first-party and third-party claims, and engages in general corporate representation in both litigation and transactional work.
