Barbara Moschovidis is a trial and appellate lawyer whose civil litigation practice is concentrated in the areas of complex business and commercial litigation, resolution of energy-related disputes, and first-party insurance defense. In addition to managing the full litigation lifecycle — from discovery, case strategy, and budgeting to dispositive motion practice, trial presentation, and appeals — she also serves as a trusted advisor to clients regarding strategic litigation and risk management decision-making.
As part of her energy, oil, and gas practice, Barbara advises and represents upstream, midstream, and downstream energy companies in a broad range of litigation matters, including putative class actions, contractual disputes, personal injury claims, property damage claims, product liability claims, interpleader actions, and real estate disputes. Barbara has developed particular experience and achieved notable success representing pipeline companies in multi-parcel condemnation proceedings.
In the commercial litigation arena, Barbara represents publicly traded, privately held, and tribal businesses in disputes involving contracts, corporate governance and business ownership, business torts, intellectual property, and related employment matters.
A portion of Barbara’s practice is devoted to representing insurance carriers in litigation involving coverage disputes, property damage claims, and uninsured motorist insurance claims, as well defending insurers against allegations of bad faith, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligence, and violations of state consumer protection laws arising under property and casualty, life and disability, and commercial general liability insurance policies.
Barbara’s achievements have earned her inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America (commercial litigation; insurance law) and Oklahoma Super Lawyers’ list of “Oklahoma Rising Stars,” which recognizes the state’s up-and-coming attorneys.
