Offices
Overview
Established in 1993, our Austin, Texas office provides a broad range of legal advice to a diverse group of local, state, national and international clients in the areas of administrative law, appellate law, corporate and securities, energy, environmental law, financial services, intellectual property and technology, legal and accounting malpractice, litigation, public procurement and contracting, and securities and public finance.
