About this office:

Porter & Hedges is a Houston-based law firm founded in 1981. We are one of the ten largest Houston-based firms and one of the 25 largest Texas-based firms.

What sets us apart from our national and regional law firm competitors? Clients tell us that it is our attentive, efficient service delivered by partner-led teams of lawyers with a depth and breadth of experience and skill typically found only at much larger firms.

In May 2008, Porter & Hedges corporate practice was named by the American Lawyer Corporate Scorecard as one of the "Top 25" law firms in the country for underwriter's counsel for 2007. The firm's construction, banking and finance and bankruptcy/restructuring practice sections were recognized by Chambers USA in 2008. Seventy percent of our partners were selected as "Texas Super Lawyers" in the 2004 through 2008 surveys conducted by Texas Monthly and Law & Politics magazine. Additionally, 18 attorneys were named "Rising Stars" in 2008 by Texas Monthly and Law & Politics magazine, and 18 of our partners have made the 2009 Best Lawyers in America list. Many of our associates and partners serve on numerous local and state bar association sections.

Our make-it-happen approach to legal matters is based on a thorough understanding of each client's business, responsiveness to each client's needs, and the identification of practical and cost-effective solutions to problems as they arise. This is the essence of the Porter & Hedges commitment—to produce for each client the optimal result as efficiently as possible.

We understand that our clients expect and deserve personal attention and prompt response from their lawyers.

Because of our lawyers' extensive knowledge and experience in many industries, our clients often turn to us not only to address their immediate legal needs but also to help develop long term strategies for success.
