In a release, the firm said Rising Stars recognizes top up-and-coming attorneys who are 40 years of age or younger, or have been in practice for 10 years or less. The annual selections are made by the research team at Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business, using a patented multiphase process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates and peer reviews by practice area. The result is a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of exceptional attorneys, the firm said.
The complete 2016 Texas Rising Stars list will appear in the April 2016 issues of Texas Monthly and Texas Super Lawyers Rising Stars magazine.
Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP, an Am Law 200 firm founded in 1909, has offices in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Denver and Mexico City.
