BIO:

Carly grew up in Austin, Texas, and is a founding partner of Childers Hewett Slagle PLLC. After earning both a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Master of Finance degree from Texas A&M University in College Station, Carly moved back to Austin and worked for Ernst & Young LLP as an external auditor, focusing on real estate. While not currently practicing accounting, she is a Certified Public Accountant in the State of Texas. After 3 years in public accounting, Carly moved to Dallas to attend law school at SMU Dedman School of Law where she focused her studies on oil and gas. During law school she served as an Associate Managing Editor on the SMU International Law Review Association.

Carly has practiced oil, gas, and energy law her entire legal career, and primarily represents oil and gas companies in their exploration and production operations, with an emphasis on title examination and transactional matters. She has extensive experience drafting curative instruments, assignments and other conveyancing documents, joint operating agreements, and farmout agreements. Carly has advises clients during the acquisition and divestiture process of surface, mineral, and leasehold interests, and negotiates and drafts various instruments related to the settlement of such matters. Her experience in the energy industry additionally includes matters related to surface use, including drafting surface use agreements, conducting due diligence for pipeline projects, and drafting easements. She also assists clients in conducting probate procedures in both Texas and New Mexico.

Carly has been married to her husband, Clayton, since 2014, and they have three children, Dottie, Ward, and Carter. Carly and her family have spent countless hours volunteering for Rodeo Austin through her life, and she enjoys returning to Austin each March to attend the rodeo and assist at the youth auction. Carly also enjoys catching up with friends over a glass of wine, reading a good book, watching college football, and spending time with family.
