Overview
Firm

K&L Gates LLP


Years In Practice


Phone Number (512) 482-6800
Mr. Erskine's practice with K&L Gates consists primarily of legislative representation and administrative law. He has successfully represented companies in the technology, healthcare, manufacturing, and service sectors in matters before the legislature and administrative agencies. He has advised companies on procurement matters as well as strategic planning. Mr. Erskine has a long history of involvement in the development of tax legislation, having been involved in all major tax debates dating back to 1977. 

Mr. Erskine joined the firm in 1994 after seventeen years of service with Amoco Corporation as senior government affairs representative, where he was ultimately responsible for all legislative and political activities for the parent corporation and subsidiaries, including those involving exploration and production, refining and marketing, chemicals, pipeline, research and development, marine transport and waste disposal in Texas and New Mexico.  From 1976-1978, he was an attorney in the state government affairs section of Dupont’s legal department.  Mr. Erskine was also associated with Alan M. Voorhees and Associates, where he was responsible for legal and political issues involved in transportation and environmental planning studies. 

Mr. Erskine’s practice with K&L Gates consists primarily of legislative representation and administrative law.  He was instrumental in the formulation and passage of Proposition 2, which exempted pollution control equipment from property taxation.  In addition to working with building the coalition that insured its passage by the legislature, he was deeply involved in the statewide campaign for voter approval.

He was also the architect of the Oil Field Clean-up Fund, which created an industry-supported fund that is dedicated to the plugging of the State’s 48,000 abandoned oil and gas wells and the sites upon which they are located.  It has become the model legislation for the states and has been adopted in many jurisdictions since its passage in Texas.
