While this firm practices numerous types of law, we would be remiss if we did not mention that this firm takes the government work it does extremely seriously. In fact, the government practice of this firm in Austin is its largest practice group by far. There is a real intellectual feel to this firm, and the attorneys all seem to take real pleasure in participating in activities outside of work like writing articles and speaking on panels. This full service firm has a real cerebral feel to it and the attorneys practicing here all seem genuinely and truly committed to the work that they do.
