Cantey Hanger LLP - Firm Profile

The law firm of Cantey Hanger is unique in both its past and future perspectives. Founded in 1882 by William Capps and S. B. Cantey, Sr., it is the oldest law firm in Fort Worth and Dallas and one of the oldest in Texas. Its partners have been eyewitnesses to history and have helped make it. Among Cantey Hanger's early clients were pioneer banks, utilities and transportation companies. Those areas still are strongly represented, along with insurance companies, energy and related firms, manufacturers, hospital and health organizations, municipalities and other governmental entities. These and other diverse areas of representation, along with individual clients, provide great stability. Yet, Cantey Hanger is today a relatively young firm in terms of its people and outlook: open, diverse, egalitarian; still a leader in the legal profession.
