Houston, Texas – February 23, 2026 — Kuiper Law Firm is pleased to announce that Chris Miller has been named Partner, recognizing his leadership and contributions to the firm’s growing oil and gas practice. Chris joined the firm in May as a Managing Associate and has quickly become a trusted advisor to clients across Texas.
Chris has played a key role in handling complex oil and gas matters, offering strategic, business-focused counsel shaped by his firsthand industry experience. His ability to navigate sophisticated transactions and operational issues has strengthened the firm’s capabilities and reinforced its commitment to serving clients in Texas’s dynamic energy sector.
“Chris has made a tremendous impact in a very short period of time,” said Alex Kuiper, Managing Partner of Kuiper Law Firm. “Before joining KLF, Chris spent significant time working with upstream operators and private equity-backed energy companies, and that experience shows in the way he approaches problems – practical, commercial, and focused on getting deals closed. He understands how drilling schedules, capital commitments, and transaction timelines actually operate, not just how they read on paper. Clients trust him because he is responsive, detail-oriented, and takes ownership of their issues from start to finish. Internally, he has also emerged as a natural leader and mentor to our younger attorneys. Chris reflects the standard we expect at the partnership level: technical excellence paired with a real commitment to client service. We are proud to welcome him to the partnership and excited about the role he will play in the firm’s continued growth.”
Chris’s background uniquely bridges the legal and operational sides of the oil and gas industry. He earned his B.A. in Government from the University of Texas at Austin and his J.D. from American University Washington College of Law. He began his career in the field as a landman in South Texas, specializing in title, before advancing to due diligence and in-house land roles with Noble Energy, Ensign Natural Resources, and Oxy, where he focused on Texas assets. This experience enables him to provide practical, commercially grounded guidance that aligns with his clients’ operational and business goals.
“I’m honored to become a partner at Kuiper Law Firm,” said Miller. “This firm has an outstanding reputation in the oil and gas industry, and I look forward to continuing to serve our clients and contribute to the firm’s long-term success.”
Kuiper Law Firm remains committed to delivering strategic, results-driven counsel across the energy sector, with a strong focus on oil and gas matters throughout Texas. Chris lives in Houston with his family and remains deeply connected to the energy community he serves.
