Baker Donelson opened its Houston office in 2011. Today the office has grown to more than 25 attorneys representing leading businesses in the Houston area and throughout the United States.

Mirroring the rich and varied economic base of the Houston area, the Houston office has strong practices serving the business community in the construction, energy, financial services, health care, manufacturing, professional services, real estate, technology and transportation sectors.

Our Houston team is highly regarded for its ability to respond quickly to and address catastrophic events – such as disputes arising from the BP oil spill and serious transport-related accidents.

Our Houston office has notable strength in a number of areas. Our advocacy practice represents clients in trial, litigation, appeal and arbitration across Texas and the United States, as well as internationally. Our health care team advises a full range of health care entities – both providers and insurers – regarding regulatory and transactional issues. Our transactional attorneys represent businesses of all sizes on all aspects of the business cycle – from formation to divestiture.  

Our Houston lawyers practice in the following areas:

  • bankruptcy and restructuring counseling and litigation 
  • business counseling and formation, acquisition and divestitures 
  • commercial litigation and arbitration 
  • construction arbitrations and litigation 
  • energy litigation 
  • environmental counseling and litigation
  • intellectual property protection and litigation
  • financial institutions in regulatory compliance and litigation
  • government investigations

  • labor and employment counseling and litigation
  • product liability (including mass tort and multi-district litigation)
  • real estate transactions and litigation (including condemnation work)
  • white collar defense
  • workplace accidents and crisis management

The team has been recognized for its commitment to the Houston community through pro bono legal service. Our lawyers have devoted significant amounts of time supporting several access-to-justice initiatives, as well as providing counsel to leading community organizations such as Child Advocates, Inc. and the Houston Food Bank.
