Title is the foundation of all land work. Without good title, even the best acquisition or development strategy can fall short. At Paladin, our experienced landmen and title attorneys run title using strict, regimented procedures to render consistent and reliable title advice. All of our Landmen are AAPL-registered landmen and are encouraged to hold a professional designation or certification and maintain it to keep their skills sharp and stay current on industry best practices. Paladin’s staff attorneys are licensed in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Wyoming, North Dakota and Pennsylvania.
Our team’s efficiency and due care make us a trusted partner for operators who demand energy title solutions from the outset. We operate a 50-seat title plant, staffed with AAPL-registered landmen and title attorneys for large-scale title projects. For smaller projects, we offer flexible solutions, including “stand-up” title examination in the courthouse or running title using online sources – ensuring efficient, adaptable title solutions at any scale.
Whether for leasing, acquisitions, drilling, or paying on production, Paladin delivers timely, reliable energy title solutions tailored to your needs.

Due Diligence
Energy assets can change significantly over time due to expiring leases, declining production, depleted reserves, or shifting market prices. Whether you're acquiring new properties or divesting non-core holdings, it’s essential to understand how they have been affected by time and circumstance.
Paladin is a leader in acquisition due diligence. Our program includes PSA analysis, marketable standard title verification, defect identification and valuation, global liens & encumbrance check, wellsite inspection, phase 1 environmental impact survey, defect notice, curative analysis, and support through the closing process. All of this is handled by highly trained staff and AAPL-registered landmen.
Since our founding in 2013, PLG has directly performed pure acquisition due diligence on more than $3.5 billion in mineral, override, and working interest transactions and has supported North American shale development with acquisitions and title on projects with more than $20 billion in total assets in the aggregate.
