Missing the challenge of trying lawsuits, Huntsman Corp. associate general counsel Peter Jordan has joined Mayer Brown as a partner in the litigation and dispute resolution practice in Houston, as Big Law firms continue to make significant hires in Texas.

“We had had a lot of strategic litigation at Huntsman. It just reminded me that what I do best is in the courtroom, actually advocating and trying cases,” said Jordan, who joined Mayer Brown on Monday.
