Butler Snow announced Wednesday that it has expanded the firm’s Austin office with the addition of 14 attorneys, all of whom were at Enoch Kever.
Each of the attorneys joining Butler Snow will join the firm’s specialized advocacy practice group, according to a news release. In addition to a notable appellate practice, the group also focuses on assisting businesses to navigate the complex legal and regulatory environment encountered when intersecting with government entities.
With more than 400 attorneys and advisors across 27 offices nationwide and London, Butler Snow opened its Austin and Dallas offices in May 2016 as part of the firm’s initial expansion into Texas.
“We are excited to welcome this talented group of attorneys to the firm,” said Christopher R. Maddux, chair of Butler Snow, said in the release. “Texas, and Austin in particular, are important markets for us and we’re excited to have such an experienced group join us who shares our commitment to teamwork and client service. Their experience and knowledge, especially in regulatory, energy, appellate and litigation areas, will be of great value to our clients.”
Joining Butler Snow’s Austin office are co-founders Craig Enoch and Andrew Kever, along with Sara Berkeley Churchin, Elana Einhorn, Heather Jones Holmes, Zackery Horton, Paula Lear, Melissa Lorber, Bill Moore, Shelby O’Brien, Carolyn Shellman, Martha Smiley, Jessica Soos and Gary Zausmer.
“We are very pleased to join Butler Snow,” said Enoch in the release. “After many successful years, the attorneys of Enoch Kever realized that the next phase for our growth required expanded talent and expertise. Butler Snow offers outstanding service opportunities for our clients, and the firm’s culture is truly unique in today’s legal profession. This is a team that we want to be a part of and we know our clients will certainly benefit from this decision.”
“Both Butler Snow and Enoch Kever have strong government, regulatory, litigation and appellate practices,” said Kever in the release. “Combining that experience and knowledge, not only in Texas but across Butler Snow’s footprint, will truly benefit clients operating in multiple states.”
On Monday, McGinnis Lochridge announced that it has added Enoch Kever’s Marla Broaddus as a partner to its oil and gas practice group.
