Baker Botts L.L.P.

Baker Botts L.L.P. is recognized for its prowess when it comes to oil, gas, and energy-related disputes, though the national practice group’s caseload also encompasses a full range of complex commercial matters, including issues of contract and fiduciary duty, unfair competition, false advertising, as well as product and professional liability. Managing partner Danny David and ‘amazing talent’ Amy Hefley co-head the team from Houston alongside Washington DC’s Bridget Moore, who is noted for her expertise in securities litigation and white-collar investigations. Austin’s Stephanie Cagniart stands out for her experience arguing before multiple courts of appeals including the Texas Supreme Court.

'When it comes to dispute resolution, Baker Botts' practice is exceptional in every way. Above all, the advice they provide throughout an engagement is what we value the most. We certainly feel like their engagement with the other side is exceptional as well, but their ability to guide us to a resolution with the minimal amount of disruption to our business is what makes them stand above other firms we've used in the past. Amy Hefley in particular!'
