A wind lease often involves thousands or tens of thousands of acres of property and substantial equipment and wind turbine machinery that may be in place for 30-50 years.

Learn how to navigate this challenging situation on behalf of your wind lessee clients by watching our newest wind lease video, Wind Leases: Oil and Gas Development Video.
