  • Norton Rose Fulbright Partners Norton Rose Fulbright in Dallas: Measuring Retention by the Decade - In an era when lawyers are changing teams with the frequency of SEC linebackers, a large contingent of Dallas-based lawyers at Norton Rose Fulbright have been staying put for decades. Like lawyers on-the-move, they cite 'culture' as their reason for staying; but offering the credibility of decades in the same office of the same firm, these lawyers may actually mean it.

  • The Heavyweight Litigator Quietly Behind Halperin Park and Other Major Civic Projects in Dallas - Mike Gruber is the litigator people and businesses call when the stakes are high. But for much of his life and career, he has also worked quietly behind the scenes of some of Dallas’ biggest civic projects.

    He almost missed his chance. A teenage car mechanic who seemed destined for vocational work, Gruber saw a different future only after a high school civics teacher took an interest in him and mapped out an alternative path.

    In the decades since, Gruber has quietly paid that opportunity forward, leveraging his bar card, relationships and resources to help shape Dallas beyond the courtroom.

  • Lewis Energy’s Wes Sharples Runs a Lean Legal Team and a Growing HR Department - Wes Sharples had a clear vision when he left Texas for college at Dartmouth in 1999: Play football, earn a degree in economics and get a big job on Wall Street.

    “My playing career ended after a year and a half along with my interest in economics,” Sharples told The Texas Lawbook. "I ultimately determined law school was the best fit, but it was more pragmatism than lifelong ambition.”

    Twenty-seven years later, Sharples is the GC at Lewis Energy Group, where he has guided the San Antonio-based privately owned energy company through five transformational corporate transactions and negotiated a highly favorable settlement agreement in an eight-figure litigation during the past two years. And he is also the 2026 San Antonio GC of the Year for a Small Legal Department.
