Houston Law Firm

The Houston law firm of Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. (SHB) opened its doors in 1995. Since then, we have represented clients in the Houston community with professionalism and integrity. We focus on several areas of legal expertise from our nine offices worldwide.

Texas is a hub for business, especially Houston. Law firm workload is on the rise as a result. We have successfully handled thousands of cases for clients engaged in major business disputes and civil litigation. From counseling through trial and appeal, the SHB Business Litigation Practice provides comprehensive experience in complex, multi-jurisdictional matters dealing with numerous adversaries. We have managed cases involving class actions, antitrust, corporate governance, securities regulation, insurance coverage disputes, commercial and construction contracts, alternative dispute resolution, taxation, financial institutions, franchises and dealerships, and libel and First Amendment issues. In addition, we offer our clients the benefit of well-established relationships with economists and forensic accountants in developing economic damages, such as lost profits. SHB attorneys at our Houston law firm and around the world have prevailed on motions for dismissal or summary judgment in hundreds of complex matters.

Our SHB Houston law firm is also well-versed in litigation alternatives, approaching each new case with flexibility and a dedication to innovative strategies. The sheer size of our firm and the number of cases we work on annually enables us to remain on the cutting-edge of legal and technological developments. SHB business litigation lawyers have access to an extensive team of analysts, legal assistants and document clerks to ensure the most cost-effective means of quality legal representation. With a reputation for efficient and effective case resolution, SHB has become the first choice for many businesses facing high-stakes litigation on both the regional and national level.

Our efforts are often noticed by our peers. Our Houston law firm was recently lauded for one of our attorneys, Managing Partner Gene Williams. The 2009 edition of Texas Super Lawyers recognized Mr. Williams as an outstanding practitioner in the civil litigation defense category. Peer-recognition ballots are used to nominate attorneys, and additional candidates are identified through an independent search. The final candidates are selected based on experience, professional achievements, bar activities, pro bono and community service, and scholarly lectures and writings.
