(Feb. 14) – Stewart Bradbury, a Dallas minority women-owned law firm, announced the first lateral partner hire in the firm’s young history on Wednesday.
Keron Wright is the third partner and fifth attorney overall at the six-month-old law firm founded by Amy Stewart and Sarah Bradbury.
“When Amy and Sarah started this adventure I was intrigued,” Wright, who was previously at Hartline Dacus Barger Dreyer, says. “It was a tough decision because I was leaving a great firm, but Amy and Sarah’s platform offers an opportunity to grow my client base.”
Wright is the husband of G2 Secure senior counsel Keitha Wright, who was a finalist in the Association of Corporate Counsel – DFW chapter’s 2017 Outstanding Corporate Counsel Awards. He focuses his practice on product liability defense, commercial litigation, bankruptcy, construction law and public utility law.
Pointing to the big litigation major auto manufacturers like Toyota, General Motors and Volkswagen have faced the past several years, Wright says it is “prime time” for product liability cases.
Stewart says adding Wright expands the firm’s practice areas into products liability and construction litigation.
“I still look at the legal practice through a coaching lens,” says Stewart, who coached women’s college basketball at Wake Forest and Tulane. “As a coach you are supposed to be able to identify and recruit talent quickly.
“Sarah and I said if we can get this guy, then we need to get this guy because he is on the rise, smart as a whip and the kind of partner we want to work with.”
