I am a trial attorney at Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP licensed in both Texas and Louisiana. I serve clients with integrity and with a proactive approach, always striving to develop creative, practical and value-driven solutions to complex problems and disputes both before and after litigation has commenced.
My practice involves the representation of a wide range of clients from high net worth individuals to large corporations in both Federal and State courts as well as in arbitration. I am responsible for a multifaceted docket of cases involving general commercial litigation, a broad range of labor and employment matters and intellectual property disputes. I also represent multiple clients in litigation related to noncompete agreements and the misappropriation of trade secrets.
Gardere provides comprehensive litigation and business solutions for leading domestic and international companies, Fortune 500® corporations and private businesses across a broad spectrum of industries and sectors including chemical and refining, construction, corporate, energy, finance, government affairs, hospitality, private equity, real estate and retail.
I have been invited and had the privilege to present a CLE program on Trade Secrets and Electronic Discovery to the Harris County District Court Judges at the annual Harris County Civil Judicial CLE program.
I was selected for inclusion as a Texas Super Lawyer in 2013 & 2014. The Super Lawyer recognition is given to the top 5% of all practicing attorneys in the State of Texas after undergoing a multiphase selection process involving peer recognition and professional achievement. I have been selected for inclusion as a Texas Super Lawyer Rising Star from 2010 - 2013. I have also received an AV® rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating in legal ability and ethics available to any individual lawyer.
