Thompson & Knight LLP

About this office:

Established in 1887, Thompson & Knight today is a dynamic firm of approximately 420 attorneys. In the United States we have four offices in Texas and one in New York, and our international offices are located in Europe, Mexico, and North Africa.

Few Texas cities rival Austin in sophistication, and our Austin office is a reflection of that environment. Thompson & Knight maintains a solid Austin presence that keeps pace with the continued economic diversification and growth of Austin business. Commercial litigation is as much a strength for us in Austin as elsewhere in the Firm, augmented by solid capabilities in our appellate practice. General corporate transactions, mergers and acquisitions, securities, real estate, and environmental law are other facets of our work in Austin. And because Austin is the state capital, through this office we offer clients experienced and effective governmental lobbying and counsel for strategic initiatives and on regulatory and legislative issues. In fact, in the 2005 Lobbying Scorecard published by Texas Lawyer, the results show we are the only firm with 10 or more clients with a perfect lobbying record.
