(February 14) — Bracewell & Giuliani recently added depth to its trial and appellate practice with the addition of R. Casey Low to its Austin office as a partner. He was previously a partner at Andrews Kurth, where he practiced for almost 10 years.
Low, who focuses his practice on various complex commercial litigation matters, said he was attracted to the firm by the opportunity to expand his antitrust practice.
“I knew several people at Bracewell & Giuliani,” he said. “I trust and respect the people here.”
One of the biggest cases Low has worked on was MC Asset Recovery LLC v. Southern Company, where the nation’s largest U.S. power producer agreed to settle with his client for $202 million. Low said the opportunity to represent the plaintiffs with the late Richard Caldwell of Andrews Kurth was invaluable.
“I learned how to research and write,” he said. “The mentorship was worth more than actually working on the matter.”
More recently, Low was involved in an antitrust lawsuit involving his client United Biologics, LLC (UAS). The San Antonio-based allergy testing and immunotherapy services provider alleged that a group of five board-certified allergists and the Texas Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Society were attempting to restrict patient access to allergy testing and treatment by family physicians that contract with UAS. The case settled in February 2013.
“It was an eye opening experience with new responsibilities as a law partner,” he said.
The Harvard Law School graduate says he expects to see an increase in all kinds of activity in the healthcare industry as a result of the shakeup caused by the Affordable Care Act.
Low is also involved in a pro bono matter with the Innocence Project, where he is representing four individuals in McClennan County charged with sexual assault or murder. His team’s motion for DNA testing was recently granted.
