Texas Law Firms Fight for Talent, Revenues and Survival

Despite record revenues and profits, the Texas legal market is in turmoil. Even as elite law firms experience phenomenal growth in revenues and profits, many large, full service Texas law firms struggle to tread water and could face major restructuring or even extinction.

There’s a fierce battle over talent. Law firms that pay the most get the best lawyers. The best talent gets the best clients. The best clients pay the highest rates, which leads to greater revenues and profits.

“The deck has been completely reshuffled in Texas,” said Kent Zimmerman with Zeughauser Group. “In a short amount of time, the leaderboard has changed significantly.”

The Texas Lawbook interviewed more than two-dozen legal industry insiders in an in-depth examination of the state’s business law marketplace.

Bell Nunnally Brings Question of First Impression to Fifth Circuit – Updated

It’s a predicament many white-collar and other criminal lawyers will never have to face, but certainly would want guidance on if, God forbid, it ever happens: What if the trial court fails to record your client’s plea hearing, and how harmless is that error? As it stands right now, it either could be like striking gold for the lawyer handling the appeal or it would make no difference, but no one knows which one it would be.

Appellate associate Jason Steed of Bell Nunnally is seeking to solve the mystery. The Texas Lawbook has the scoop.

  • Valero GC Rich Walsh Fought the EPA and Won at the U.S. Supreme Court - Valero Energy GC Rich Walsh watched in astonishment in 2022 and 2023 as major petroleum-related companies were silent as the EPA allowed California to set more stringent fuel admission standards than required by federal law, creating an existential threat to their businesses. The California rules would force consumers to purchase vehicles that run on electricity instead of liquid fuels. Walsh led the charge to file lawsuits challenging these regulations. On June 20, Walsh’s efforts paid off when the U.S. Supreme Court handed Valero a sweeping victory.

    “Sometimes it is very evident when we are very right, and I knew from the start that this was one of those times,” said Walsh, who is the recipient of the 2025 San Antonio Corporate Counsel Award for General Counsel of the Year for a Large Legal Department.
