Aug 6, 2026
LPHS partners Britta Stanton and Eric Pinker were selected by Chambers and Partners to draft an in-depth overview on general commercial litigation in DFW, exploring how the evolution of the Texas Business Court is reshaping complex commercial litigation and why the structure of a trial team has become a strategic advantage.
