(May 25) – Adams and Reese boosted its litigation practice in Houston with the addition of five attorneys headlined by partner Staton Childers.

Leslie Henry, who leads growth for the firm in toxic tort counsel, says the new group from LeClairRyan expands Adams and Reese’s footprint and helps the firm develop business in other states, particularly along the Gulf.

“It is a dream come true for me,” she said. “I know Staton from Hays McConn and I love practicing law with him. He is really good when it is time to get in the trenches.”

Childers concentrates his practice on construction litigation and commercial matters. His client list includes Baker Hughes, Jacobs and TNT Crane.

Childers joins the 30-lawyer Houston office at Adams and Reese with Benjamin Miller, Brianne Richardson, Amanda Sanders and John Kovach.
