Bernstein Liebhard LLP Announces Investigation of Encore Energy Partners LP

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bernstein Liebhard LLP is investigating whether the Board of Directors of Encore Energy Partners LP (“Encore” or the “Company”) (NYSE:ENP) breached its fiduciary duty to its shareholders in agreeing to sell Encore to Vanguard Natural Resources, LLC (“Vanguard”).
