Dorsey & Whitney - An International business law firm, applying a business perspective to clients' needs in Missoula, Montana and beyond.

At the peak of the Bakken boom it was like the gold rush of 1849. Hotels, motels, man camps, restaurants, infrastructure couldn’t be built fast enough to deal with all the oil workers. Housing prices went through the roof. Everyone was making a lot more money. A lot more money.

But, just like the gold rush, the Bakken boom has become the Bakken bust. And, left behind impacted communities left with empty properties and lots of bills to pay.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Bakken black gold.

Boom. Bust.
