When the government comes calling or a civil dispute lands you in court, let us shoulder the load so you can focus on what matters most.

Austin is the epicenter of high-stakes government and appellate litigation in Texas. From our headquarters on Congress Avenue, we deploy resources to litigate complex civil, regulatory, and constitutional disputes.
Whether disentangling the procedural nuance of administrative procedure, arguing in the State's highest court, or lobbying in the halls of the legislature, we provide guidance and control for your legal challenges in the State's capital.


While all our capabilities and experience can deploy anywhere, we know you may have specific needs in mind when you're looking for Austin-based representation.
Led by former Texas Solicitor General Judd Stone, our appellate lawyers have clerked at the Supreme Court and for judges across the country. No matter the court, we'll fight in original proceedings, direct appeals, and discretionary review actions to to intercept catastrophic rulings and secure favorable ones. A verdict is only the beginning. We'll finish the job.
We've litigated for and against many government agencies, so we understand their perspectives and know how decisions get made. When a regulatory issue threatens your interests, we'll use procedural know-how, political pressure, and strategic litigation to guide your way through the morass of administrative procedure.
Government investigations and white collar matters eat time and money, distract leadership, and disrupt your business. With experience in matters ranging from the False Claims Act to criminal investigations to contested agency cases, we've litigated CIDs, appeared before the State Office of Administrative Hearings, and negotiated favorable resolutions. When you need heavyweight defense, put us in your corner.
When proposed legislation poses business or personal risk or your interests are underrepresented, we have the in-house lobbying capabilities to wholistically represent your views to decisionmakers, advise on matters of policy, and guide your actions and reactions in the world of lawmaking. We'll ensure your voice is heard from City Hall to Capitol Hill.
