BARON & BUDD

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Shoddy drywall. Bad actions by banks. This Dallas firm has established a reputation as an advocate in some of the hottest litigation going. It is especially well regarded for its work on behalf of mesothelioma victims, for whom Baron & Budd has secured hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts, including the largest asbestos win — $55 million. In the pending oil spill multidistrict litigation, it represents the state of Louisiana and has a seat on the plaintiffs’ executive committee.
