Jeremy Doyle
Local Litigation Star (Texas)
“Jeremy Doyle led a team that represented a private equity company, Riverstone, and certain of its portfolio companies in defense of a lawsuit arising out of a gas purchase agreement. The plaintiff asserted claims alleging that the firm’s clients tortiously interfered with the plaintiff’s gas supply contract in order to win the business for another affiliate. The firm filed several summary judgment motions seeking dismissal of the claims and a ruling that the plaintiff had no recoverable damages under the terms of the contract at issue. The case settled for a confidential amount while those motions were pending.”
Jean Frizzell
National Practice Area Star, Local Litigation Star (Texas) – General Commercial, Product Liability
“Jean is well regarded for his general commercial, intellectual property, and energy work. Clients enthuse, “He simply has the ‘it’ factor in litigation.” They continue, “He is very perceptive regarding what the true issues are in connection with a case and then strategizing.” Instead of being a “scorched-earth litigator,” Frizzell is regarded to have “a gift in communication strategy with both the client and in court.” A client relates, “Although Jean has a big practice, I feel as if I am his only client.””
Mike Oldham
Local Litigation Star (Texas) – Energy and Natural Resources, General Commercial, Product Liability
“Mike Oldham secured a jury defense verdict for his client, Exxon, that rejected all of the opponent’s claims.”
In addition, he “was hired by Texicali, a family partnership, after the family began to suspect that their attorney, Jim Mulder, was stealing funds from them out of his IOLTA account. Oldham’s preliminary investigation confirmed the theft and revealed that Mulder had defrauded the family by forging fake investment opportunities and advising them to invest. The firm filed suit and obtained a final judgment totalling $1.7 million plus interest.”
