Kirk Morgan is chair of the firm’s Oil & Gas Regulatory Practice and focuses his practice almost exclusively on natural gas regulatory and commercial matters. He advises interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines on the full range of issues affecting their operations, including rates, services, and regulatory compliance.

Kirk frequently assists natural gas pipeline clients with new infrastructure projects, including greenfield pipelines and system expansions. His work includes guiding clients through open seasons and negotiating and drafting precedent agreements, transportation agreements, and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) tariffs.

Kirk works closely with clients to obtain regulatory approvals for new pipeline infrastructure, services, and rates. He regularly represents natural gas pipeline clients in administrative litigation before FERC, including rate cases and complaint proceedings.

In addition to interstate pipelines, Kirk has substantial experience advising natural gas gatherers, intrastate pipelines, and Hinshaw pipelines. He routinely counsels intrastate pipeline clients on the requirements and opportunities under Section 311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978.

Kirk has extensive experience navigating complex energy issues, but clients can count on him to make things understandable and be commercially minded. According to Chambers USA, clients comment that Kirk “provides exceptional regulatory and commercial counsel and is insightful and in touch with legal precedents in his area of expertise” (2025), that he is “incredibly responsive and always provides creative solutions to complex issues” (2024), how he “is an excellent business lawyer and is particularly strong in the area of natural gas pipeline regulation” and “able to provide both technical and practical advice” (2023), and “distills complex matters very quickly and always helps us find commercial resolutions” (2022).
