Dallas Attorney Sawyer Neely Promoted to Shareholder at Sayles Werbner
Law firm Sayles Werbner announced the promotion of associate Sawyer Neely to shareholder.
“Sawyer has amassed an impressive record of success for his clients and has proven himself to be a formidable presence in the courtroom. His promotion is well-deserved,” said firm founder Richard A. “Dick” Sayles.
In a release, the firm said Neely represents both plaintiffs and defendants in personal and business disputes throughout Texas in matters involving direct and derivative shareholder claims, securities claims, trade secret and copyright battles, catastrophic personal injury, and various complex business and tort cases.
Neely also acts as local counsel for a number of out-of-state companies and lawyers with Texas litigation, and he is retained to conduct internal investigations regarding, among other issues, workplace safety, environmental compliance, discrimination, and harassment.
A 1999 graduate of Vanderbilt University and a 2003 graduate of Georgetown University Law Center, Neely has been recognized six times on the annual Texas Rising Stars listing of the state’s top young attorneys. While in law school, Neely assisted victims of domestic violence in the District of Columbia Superior Court through Georgetown’s Domestic Violence Clinic. He is also active in the Dallas legal community and his children’s school.
