Important Information for Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
Claimants Represented By A Lawyer
You have told us that you are represented by a lawyer.
Any claimant may be represented by a lawyer in connection with their claim to BP. BP
will not treat your claim differently if you are represented by a lawyer. However, if you
are represented by a lawyer, BP is required to communicate with your lawyer rather
than with you unless your lawyer authorizes BP in writing to communicate with you.
Your lawyer may do so by faxing a written authorization to (302) 476-6272 or by
e-mailing the authorization to Melissa.Osborne@esis.com. If it is more convenient, your
lawyer may instead use this form and fill out the information below and return it to BP,
so that BP will know who to communicate with about your claim. We can not
continue to communicate directly with you until we have the authorization of
your lawyer.
