Airey featured in Akron Beacon Journal Story on Mineral Royalty Rights

W. Jonathan Airey, a partner in the firm’s Columbus office, was featured in an Akron Beacon Journal article about companies that are interested in purchasing existing mineral royalty rights from eastern Ohio landowners.

The article, which is entitled “Ohio’s looming natural gas boom is luring new investors,”  states: “Columbus attorney W. Jonathan Airey of Vorys, Sater, Seymour & Pease LLP said he is not surprised by the newest development, and he expects the companies to be ‘reasonably aggressive’ in trying to acquire royalty rights. The companies are interested because it appears likely that the royalty stream from Ohio’s Utica shale formation will be significant, he said.”
