The firm has previously reported on its success in Am. Warrior, Inc. v. Found. Energy Fund IV-A, L.P. (In re McConathy), 111 F.4th 574 (5th Cir. 2024). From bankruptcy court, to district court, to the Fifth Circuit, Bradley L. Drell and Heather M. Mathews protected the interests of non-debtor parties against American Warrior’s attempts to leverage an omission from a 1990 bankruptcy case to obtain its preferred forum in current oil and gas litigation. 

After the Fifth Circuit decided McConathy, American Warrior filed a petition for a writ of certiorari, seeking reversal by the Supreme Court of the United States. American Warrior’s efforts before the high court included securing an amici curiae brief by a cadre of law professors to support its cert petition.

Drell and Mathews paired with renowned SCOTUS practitioner Lisa Blatt of Williams & Connolly, LLP, to oppose the cert petition. On March 3, 2025, SCOTUS denied cert, sealing the series of victories for Gold Weems’ clients.
