Firms headquartered outside of Texas have been the fastest-growing firms inside the Lone Star State in recent years, but that trend was splintered in 2016 as some midsize homegrown firms beefed up their lawyer ranks in Texas.
More than half of the firms on the Texas 100 chart, which lists the firms with the most lawyers in Texas, increased their lawyer head counts in 2016 compared with 2015. While 38 firms on the chart reduced their lawyer head counts in 2016 compared with 2015, the majority of the declines were less than 10 percent.
