When Houston trial firm Beirne, Maynard & Parsons dissolved in 2016, 30 lawyers jumped to Akerman in Texas and another 10 formed their own boutique, Parsons McEntire McCleary & Clark, with offices in Dallas and Houston.

Nearly two years later, insurance litigators David Clark and Kristen McDanald have left Parsons McEntire and reunited with their former co-workers at Akerman’s Houston office.
