Some Houston Big Law Firms Spared Worst of Harvey’s Damage
While Big Law firms with Houston offices are still in recovery mode from Hurricane Harvey, many firms with downtown offices were spared the worst of the record-breaking storm’s damage, reports Bloomberg Law.
Reporter Stephanie Russell-Kraft quotes Kenneth Broughton, managing partner of Reed Smith’s Houston office: “I would say a fairly high percentage of attorneys live either downtown or within 15 or 20 minutes from downtown, and most of those areas were not flooded.”
Broughton said he has been in the office for most of the week, and the Houston office will be re-opened on Tuesday.
The report also covers storm response at Baker Botts and Andrews Kurth.
