Dallas-based Winstead, which added 18 lawyers this month from the San Antonio and Austin offices of Jenkens & Gilchrist, will add 12 more Jenkens lawyers, including six from the Dallas firm’s headquarters. Winstead will have 302 lawyers as of March 31; Jenkens, which once had close to 600 lawyers, has dropped to under 200 in recent weeks.
Greg Erwin, the lateral hiring shareholder in Winstead’s Houston office, says his firm is continuing hiring discussions with 10 other Jenkens lawyers, including three Dallas shareholders, five Dallas associates and two Houston associates.
