Chairman's Letter

Hello Friends,

It is hard to believe we are at the end of another active, busy year. This year we kept tabs on important employment trends such as the non-compete ban blocked by a Texas Federal judge and the abolishment of mandatory COVID-19 vaccine mandates. We saw the genesis of Texas’ new business court and we were inspired to hear about innovation in Houston’s aerospace, biotech, and energy sectors at  . We were encouraged by building permit activity gains, the influx of companies moving to or expanding within Houston, strong job growth, and healthy M&A activity. Finally, we had a little fun this holiday season as Founder Bill Boyar, COO Josie Morgan and I received a friendly “pie in the face” as a part of a holiday fundraising challenge.

This year also marked significant milestones within our team, including the promotion of Taylor Gaver and Travis L. Johnson to Corporate M&A Shareholders and Alex Wolf to Litigation Senior Associate. These well-deserved achievements reflect their hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence.

We are grateful for our team’s hard work and dedication shown all year round in helping clients reach their goals. We wish you all a joy-filled holiday season and hope you all are as excited about the new year as we are.

Sincerely,
